Is Slashing Coming to Solana? What It Means for Validators and Delegators
Slashing is not active on Solana today but is being built for around 2026, with SIMD-0204 handling fault detection and SIMD-0212 proposing penalty economics. The Validator Admission Ticket is a fixed 1.6 SOL per-epoch burned fee, not a penalty, making validator selection a direct risk factor for delegators.
