Node Staking and Slash Mechanism

To ensure the security of the 2PM.Network, a robust Node Staking and Slash Mechanism has been implemented. Before joining any subnet, nodes are required to stake a certain amount in the subnet’s corresponding blockchain via a staking contract. This stake can be in the form of $2PM tokens or the native cryptocurrency of the corresponding blockchain.

2PM.Network utilizes technologies from Eigenlayer/Mind Network to facilitate an Actively Validated Service. This service enables off-chain validator node operators to run a verification client provided by 2PM.Network. This client is used to validate on-chain proofs, such as zero-knowledge proofs and commitments.

Should any discrepancies or issues be detected during verification, the validator nodes have the ability to submit proof to the staking contract and initiate a "slash" action against the stake of the node at fault.
