Slashing Mechanics
To enforce honest behavior, the protocol includes slashing conditions implemented through Substrate's slashing pallet:
PoI Fraud
If a validator submits an invalid AI output (verified by ZKPs), 5% of their stake is slashed. For a stake of 1,000 coins, the penalty is: Penalty = 0.05 × Stake_i = 0.05 × 1,000 = 50 coins
PoSp Failure
If storage commitments fail (e.g., unavailable shards), 3% is slashed: Penalty = 0.03 × 1,000 = 30 coins
GRANDPA Equivocation
Conflicting GRANDPA votes result in a 10% slash (100 coins) and temporary suspension from the active validator set.

Penalties are redistributed to honest validators through the treasury: Reward_i = Penalty_total × (W_i / Σ W_j)
For a 100-coin penalty, with W_i = 285,400 and Σ W_j = 10,000,000: Reward_i = 100 × (285,400 / 10,000,000) = 100 × 0.02854 = 2.854 coins
Evidence submission through the offences pallet processes in constant time (≈ 1ms), with slashing executed within the next block (≈ 6s).
