On the 10th (local time), according to crypto asset (cryptocurrency) specialist media CoinDesk, 39 validators on the Ethereum (ETH) network were mass slashed.
Slashing is a mechanism in Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchains that punishes validators for rule violations or malicious actions. The validators that were slashed this time were operating staking infrastructure by distributing keys across multiple operators via the SSV network.
SSV founder Alon Murokh said the incident was not due to a problem with the protocol itself, but was caused by operator infrastructure issues related to third-party staking providers that use SSV. One cluster was connected to the liquid staking provider Ankr.
