- mitigation of nothing at stake problem
an integral security mechanism in consensus algorithms, such as tendermint
- that detects and penalizes validators
- who sign two different blocks
- at the same height
- this mechanism ensures network security and integrity by
- detection
- monitoring the blockchain for instances
- where a validator signs conflicting blocks at the same height
- penalty
- enforcing slashing
- which involves automatically reducing the staked tokens of the offending validator
- as a deterrent against dishonest behavior
- removal
- potentially removing the validator from the active validator set
- to prevent further malicious actions
- these measures are designed
