Choosing a Validator and Slashing Protection Mechanism with $vDOT: Why It Is More Important Now Than Ever



With the new approval slashing regulations from Polkadot, choosing a validator is no longer just about maximizing profits – it's about protecting your assets. The risk of slashing ( penalty loss of tokens ) is very real, but @Bifrost provides a layer of safety specifically for $vDOT holders.

How Bifrost protects vDOT stakers:

Validator scoring system: Bifrost uses a mechanism to evaluate and rank validators based on performance and reliability, prioritizing the selection of the highest quality nodes.

Insurance fund from commissions: 20% of the commission fees from validators are allocated to a public insurance fund, creating the first line of defense against slashing.

Protocol-level reserves: 5% of the total supply of $BNC is allocated for insurance at the protocol level.

Clear compensation order: If slashing occurs, the insurance fund will bear the losses first, ensuring that vDOT holders are not directly affected initially.

In the new context, choosing the right validator is crucial. With Bifrost, you are staking safely, transparently, and with a clear protection strategy.

Safe staking. Smart staking.
