Slashing & Appeal Process

SocialBlock applies both soft slashing (reputation) and hard slashing (stake):

Offense	Rep Slash	Token Slash	Notes
Missed blocks (>5%)	-0.1	1%	Auto-triggered by validator monitor
Governance inactivity	-0.15	—	Slashed over 2+ missed epochs
Sybil or impersonation	-0.5	5–15%	Determined by AI + zkID audit
Referral fraud	-0.25	2%	Verified by Referral Verifier agent
Content manipulation/toxicity	-0.2	—	Flagged by Moderator Agent

Cumulative low rep (< 0.5) = validator jailing.
