Slashing & Rewards Management Checklist

1. Slashing Functionality

• Process Unapplied Slashes
  • Add logic to handle unapplied slashes.
  • Tests: Verify unapplied slashes are processed correctly.
• Implement Slashing Queue
  • Add a queue to manage slashing events.
  • Tests: Ensure slashes are queued and processed in the correct order.
• Check for Applicable Slashes
  • Add slashing checks in on_idle and on_block to detect applicable slashes.
  • Tests: Validate slashes are detected and applied during idle/block events.
• Remove Slashes on Dispute
  • Add logic to remove slashes from the queue when a dispute is resolved.
  • Tests: Confirm slashes are removed upon successful dispute resolution.

2. Operator Management

• Join/Remove Services as Operator
  • Add functionality for operators to join or remove services.
  • Tests: Verify operators can join/remove services and state updates correctly.
• Update tnt-core
  • Review and merge existing PR/branch for tnt-core.
  • Tests: Add missing tests for tnt-core updates.

3. SlashManager Integration

• Hook Up SlashManager
  • Integrate SlashManager from service slash to slash operators.
  • Tests: Ensure slashing events are correctly passed to operators.

4. Payment & Rewards Management

• Break Down Large Implementations
  • Refactor payment/rewards logic into smaller, reusable functions in <function>.rs.
  • Tests: Validate refactored functions maintain expected behavior.
• Pricing Security Function
  • Add a function stub for pricing security with a sensible default (e.g., exponential function).
  • Tests: Verify the pricing function computes security scores correctly.
• Score Distribution
  • Implement score computation:
    • 1 * NATIVE_SCORE_MULTIPLIER for 1 TNT exposed.
    • 1 score for $1 exposed from non-TNT assets.
  • Tests: Validate score distribution logic.
• Payment Split & Execution
  • Add logic to split and execute payments based on computed scores.
  • Tests: Ensure payments are split and executed accurately.

5. Native Restaking & Slashing Handling

• Add Native Restaking Support
  • Implement native restaking functionality.
  • Tests: Verify restaking works as expected.
• Handle Validator & Operator Slashing
  • Add proper handling for validator and operator slashing events.
  • Tests: Confirm slashing events are handled correctly for both validators and operators.
