Congrats on the launch of the new chain. Some great tech underpinning Solana and I really like some of the modifications made particularly the Validator HW requirements. Allows for a lower barrier to entry and more decentralization.

Question on Validators. Does a Validator get a slashing penalty in certain situations like down time or if it violates proof of history? On Solana:

“Validators may be penalized if they violate the network rules and Proof-Of-History. If validator is unresponsive it may lose corresponding rewards with possible algorithmic reduction of active validator's stake, which is earning SOL rewards.”

Thanks, looking forward to the DEX & other developments
