Slasher
The slasher is the account responsible for carrying out the slash operation in the stake. In Arcblock's blockchain staking system, the slashers must be specified when staking. When a staker attempts to violate the rules or act maliciously, the slashers can confiscate all or part of the assets staked by them. The shashers is usually an operator of a Blocklet or a node staker, whose interests are closely related to maintaining a good trading environment. Therefore, they are motivated to maintain the trading environment and ensure the overall network develops in a positive direction.
The destination of slashed assets is declared by the staking arrangement. It is not automatically the slasher’s account. For Stake for Gas, slashed ABT goes to the community pool; other uses of Stake for X follow their declared rules.
