Or it is caused by the operation and maintenance error of the same node service provider.

Rhythm BlockBeats news, on February 3, the Ethereum 2.0 browser information showed that about 9 hours ago, Ethereum 2.0 nodes were slashed on a large scale, and as many as 75 nodes were punished. If each node is punished with 0.25ETH, the total penalty will be more than 18 ETH. Based on the current ETH unit price of $1,560, the total amount will be about $29,000.

Slash penalty means that Ethereum 2.0 collects a fine from the 32 ETH pledged in the node, any amount of Slash fine It cannot be replaced. If the node's staked ETH tokens drop below 16 due to the accumulation of Slash penalties, the node will automatically withdraw from the Ethereum 2.0 network. In December last year, more than 600 validators were fined by Slash on the first day of Ethereum 2.0’s launch.

The data shows that as of now, there are 114 Slash nodes on the Ethereum 2.0 network, of which 65% of the Slash occurred here In the next time period, it is suspected that there is a high probability that the relevant node service provider has a problem.

by Query, during this time period, some Slash addresses were related to the address marked Staked.us, suspected to be related to the node service provider Staked.us, and some Slash addresses did not confirm whether the node service provider was used. People familiar with the matter said that such a situation may have occurred because the service provider did not allow extra connection time when switching servers in order to ensure the online rate.
