🛡️ TruthSpec Manifest: Slashing Immunity Protocol

This manifest defines the behavioral guarantees, contagion containment logic, and validator quarantine mechanisms for QuantumChain’s slashing immunity subsystem. It ensures that validator penalties are enforced with precision, fairness, and systemic resilience.


✅ Semantic Contract

Element Description
Intent Prevent slashing contagion and isolate compromised validators
Trigger Conditions Validator misbehavior, telemetry anomaly, governance slashing proposal
Behavioral Promise Slashing is scoped, logged, and prevented from cascading across the network
Mutation Safety Immunity logic is immutable during emergency halt or override
Observability Slashing events timestamped and linked to validator telemetry and entropy
Governance Influence Slashing thresholds and quarantine duration are runtime-mutable

🧬 Runtime Fingerprint

Field Value
Build Hash qchain-v1.04-slashing-immunity
Immunity Logic Checksum SHA256 of ApplySlashing() and QuarantinePeer()
Active Quarantine Set List of validators under isolation
Contagion Score UUID Identifier for slashing spread model
CI/CD Tag v1.04-slashing-verified

📎 Mutation Context

Governance Link Details
Proposal ID PROP-445: Slashing Contagion Thresholds
Valid From 07-11-2025 00:00 UTC
Mutation Parameters slashing_threshold, quarantine_duration, telemetry_penalty_weight
Override Protocol Requires quorum and entropy stability

📊 Validation Matrix

Scenario Expected Behavior Logging Event
Validator misbehavior detected Slashing applied SLASHING_APPLIED: Misbehavior
Multiple validators misbehave Contagion score evaluated SLASHING_EVALUATED: Spread Risk
Contagion score exceeds threshold Emergency halt triggered EMERGENCY_TRIGGER: Slashing
Quarantine active Validator isolated from rotation QUARANTINE_ACTIVATED
Governance mutation applied Thresholds updated MUTATION_APPLIED: PROP-445

🧭 Notes

The slashing immunity protocol is QuantumChain’s defensive firewall. It enforces accountability, prevents systemic collapse, and ensures validator penalties are precise, contained, and recoverable.
