On the night of February 2 to 3, 75 Ethereum 2.0 validators supported by the Staked service lost part of the ETH deposited for staking. This is reported in the
blog startup.
Validators subject to penalties also lose their ability to receive rewards.
Such sanctions are applied in situations that potentially threaten the performance of the network. They act as insurance against malicious user behavior. Validators subject to this procedure will not be able to withdraw funds until such an opportunity appears in ETH2.
The blockchain explorer states attestation violation as the reason for slashing.
Since the launch of ETH2 phase 0 in December 2020, the number of penalized validators has reached 114. Staked has made all the necessary changes to ensure that this situation does not recur in the future. Affected customers will be reimbursed for lost and lost ETH.
