One of the more serious risks is if a validator commits a double signing event – effectively voting for two different, mutually exclusive versions of the network at the same time. Most networks will slash validators for double signing – levying penalties and often removing the validator from the active set for some period of time – sometimes permanently in the case of Ethereum.Another significant risk is validator key security. Although compromised validator keys don’t often lead to direct theft of tokens, it can lead to adverse outcomes for stakers and must be treated seriously.Another penalty that some networks issue is for missed rewards – this can happen when validator infrastructure are offline for an extended period of time. These penalties tend to be lower than other penalties though.Customers’ stake is of prime importance to Figment and our infrastructure and processes have been designed to minimize the risk of slashing and ensure validator keys are secure.While Figment relies heavily on our architecture, system design, and operational processes to protect against slashing, missed rewards and ensure validator key security, we also offer 3 levels of insurance to protect our clients against loss.
