When will be validator get jailed?

  1. Downtime: If a validator is offline for too long (e.g., fails to participate in block validation for a significant period), they may be jailed temporarily. The exact downtime threshold depends on the network’s parameters.
  2. Governance Violations: Some networks may jail validators for failing to follow governance rules or other protocol-specific requirements.
  3. Slashing Conditions: Validators can also be jailed if their staked tokens are slashed due to other protocol violations.
