EigenLayer Mainnet Slashing feature Release

APR

17

Event date

Thursday 17 April 2025, UTC

Event description

  • EigenLayer’s “slashing” feature, launching on mainnet April 17, 2025, introduces a mechanism where Actively Validated Services (AVSs) can penalize operators for failing to meet commitments, enhancing accountability in its shared security model.
  • Slashing builds on EigenLayer’s restaking protocol, which lets Ethereum stakers reuse staked ETH to secure AVSs, a concept that has secured over $2 billion in TVL since its 2023 launch, per DeFiLlama data.
  • This upgrade, detailed in EigenLayer’s blog, allows AVSs to set custom slashing conditions and manage operators via Operator Sets, addressing a 2024 concern from the Ethereum Foundation about restaking risks like systemic failures.
