We officially have a slashing insurance for all the chains that we support and that implement a downtime/jail slash.

While we have a solid infrastructure with multiple monitoring systems that alert us long before any jail would occur, we acknowledge that issues can unexpectedly happen and this insurance is meant to provide another layer of safety to our delegators.

Each concerned wallet is funded with an amount of tokens corresponding to the number that would be slashed in case of a downtime (which is calculated through the simple formula: voting power * the slash fraction of the chain), + a buffer to account for the variations that may occur between two checks.

Each day, the necessary amount is recalculated and we stand ready to deposit more funds in the wallets should it become necessary.

In the event of a downtime slash (i.e. if for some reason one of our nodes is online for an extended period of time and we fail to bring it back up quickly enough), each wallet of our delegators would be refunded with the tokens that were lost — and this includes the foundations’ wallets.
Obviously, the now drained insurance wallet would also immediately be refilled.

Here is the list of the wallets containing this monetary reserve:

Cosmos
Injective
Aura Network
Band Protocol
Desmos
Fetch.ai
Iris Network
MediBloc
Migaloo
Persistence
Secret Network
Teritori
Terra
UX (Umee)
Andromeda

Provenance, Shentu and Osmosis are not included above as there is no downtime slash for these chains.
However should that change we will immediately add them to the list.

In addition, each new chain that we start validating will be included in this insurance mechanism from the start.

You can therefore delegate your tokens to us without being concerned about a potential slash.
