Again, no, not the people putting up the stake.
I am asking about the people with the power to declare that people who put up the stake were dishonest in their validations.

- drcode 4y agoIf I understand what you mean by "slasher nodes" (there is no such term in reality): Anybody can run a node that checks for conflicting validation messages and get a small reward by doing so. There is zero stake required to do this. It is not some power conferred to "vitalik and his friends"
- drcode 4y agoThere is no such a power, slashing is 100% decentralized. The key innovation in modern POS systems was figuring out how to do this, it is a solved problem.
