🤔 Many stakers don't understand correlation penalties and centralisation risks in Ethereum. 🚫 Ethereum severely penalises correlated slashing events, encouraging stakers, protocols, and operators to prioritise client diversity and decentralisation.

When you stake with a centralised protocol or provider (using a single client, geographic location, etc), you are more susceptible to penalties if that point of centralisation causes a slashing or offline event. As the staking ecosystem develops, so does the discussion around correlation risks.

@vitalik.eth suggests that Ethereum's correlated slashing mechanism may not be fully achieving its objective, necessitating a more thorough investigation of correlation risk: ethresear.ch/t/supporting-decentralized-staking-through-more-anti-correlation-incentives/19116

📝 To help educate stakers, we are excited to announce our research report: “Ethereum’s Correlation Risks: Poorly Understood, but Always Present” which examines, for the first time, a holistic cross-section of today’s staking correlation risks, key mitigations, and how these dynamics may shift in the future.
