Solana Lianchuang calls for punishment of Solana validators who deliberately delay block time slots, steal rewards and slow down the network

According to Coinjie.com, Solana co-founder Anatoly “Toly” Yakovenko called for punishment for Solana validators who delay time slots, steal rewards and cause networks to slow down. Yakoliko called for punishment because he was frustrated by validators using complex procrastination strategies to acquire additional fees and high-value transactions. The intentional delayed slot time has become so annoying that there is a validator who created a dashboard to showcase the problem. Since August 5 – Solana Era 829, the average slot time has increased by 2.5%. Some people complained: "What should be rising is the price of SOL, not the block time." An observer asked whether these delays would trigger a version 2.0 similar to the “Illusional Leader Rewards Raising (ILRB)”. ILRB is a time strategy that some validators use when they want to deliberately delay block production. Extending the slot time to more than 400 milliseconds expected by Solana will deliberately delay the delay time and allow them to unfairly package more transactions in their blocks, thus obtaining higher fees or rewards. Yakowen recommends “don’t drop these blocks by default” as a punishment for slow but influential validators. He also repeatedly called for financial punishment for misbehaving validators. Currently, Solana developer store Anza has proposed a series of proposals to consider implementing a cut mechanism in the network, i.e. punishing validators by deducting stakes, but this will also pose risks to SOL stakers.
