Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

EigenLayer has activated slashing on mainnet, making the protocol feature-complete and enabling economic enforcement for Autonomous Verifiable Services (AVSs), where operators and stakers are rewarded for meeting commitments or penalized if they fall short. This milestone brings verifiable trust to decentralized services, with major partners like LayerZero and Infura integrating slashing to enforce service-level guarantees and increase reliability across blockchain infrastructure.
