🧩Preconf Series #5: Slashing Slashing is what makes UniFi AVS preconfirmations credible, not just promises. 🛡️ Gateways must post collateral to participate in the lookahead, and if they fail to honor their preconf commitments - such as not settling batches on L1 or violating execution guarantees - that collateral gets partially or fully slashed. The next gateway can step in to finalize the batch, claim a portion of the faulty gateway’s collateral, and keep the chain progressing without reorgs. Crucially, slashed funds are redistributed to affected users, L2s, and honest participants, rather than burned, directly compensating those harmed. In short, if a gateway breaks its promise, it pays for it economically, aligning incentives around honest and timely execution.
