PROTOCOL PAPER 02 // RESTAKING ECONOMICS
Bounding Correlated AVS Slashing Risk With Isolated Epoch Quorums
Nadia Khoury · Formal Verification
Unbounded restaking exposes L1 consensus safety to external middleware bugs unless each Actively Validated Service enforces deterministic per-epoch slash ceilings.
When an operator opts into an AVS on Helios, stake allocation is partitioned into explicit risk tranches with hard-coded 0.5% to 2.0% epoch slashing caps and a mandatory 7-day deterministic fault-proof verification window, preventing cascading L1 validator ejection.
