Function manual_slash

Source 
pub fn manual_slash<T: Config>(
    validator_stash: T::AccountId,
    era: EraIndex,
    slash_fraction: Perbill,
)
Expand description

This function allows governance to manually slash a validator and is a fallback mechanism.

The dispatch origin must be T::AdminOrigin.

§Parameters

  • validator_stash - The stash account of the validator to slash.
  • era - The era in which the validator was in the active set.
  • slash_fraction - The percentage of the stake to slash, expressed as a Perbill.

§Behavior

The slash will be applied using the standard slashing mechanics, respecting the configured SlashDeferDuration.

This means:

  • If the validator was already slashed by a higher percentage for the same era, this slash will have no additional effect.
  • If the validator was previously slashed by a lower percentage, only the difference will be applied.
  • The slash will be deferred by SlashDeferDuration eras before being enacted.

§Warning: Doc-Only

This function is an automatically generated, and is doc-only, uncallable stub. See the real version in Pallet::manual_slash.
