Purpose of This Tool
This tool helps stakers understand Namada's unique Cubic Slashing system, which penalizes validators based on their voting power.
It helps you assess risks, rewards, and encourages decentralized staking by spreading your stake across smaller validators.
How Does Namada Slashing Work?
1. Think of slashing as a penalty: the more marbles (stake) a validator controls, the harsher the penalty if they misbehave.
2. When misbehavior happens, the validator is frozen – no one can withdraw their marbles until it's resolved.
3. The penalty increases if the validator controls more marbles, encouraging fair play.
4. The penalty is delayed, giving others time to react and protect their stake.
5. Validators can return after proving they’re ready to follow the rules again.
Why Stake with Small Validators?
1. Think of a big jar: if it falls, everyone loses more. Spread your stake across many jars (smaller validators).
2. Spreading your marbles across jars protects your investment and strengthens the network.
3. Decentralization keeps the network secure and balanced.
4. Supporting smaller validators like Grand Valley promotes stability for Namada
5. Don’t put all your marbles in one jar – spread them for safety!

CSR Simulation Tool
Use this tool to simulate CSR based on validator infractions. You can select multiple validators and input infraction details to calculate the potential CSR for each validator. The simulation tool is not limited to only one validator; you can input as many validators as you want.
How to Use the Simulation Tool:
- Select Validator: Choose a validator from the dropdown menu.
- Input Epoch: Enter the epoch in which the infractions occurred.
- Input Infractions: Enter the number of infractions for the selected epoch.
- Run Simulation: Click the "Run Simulation" button to calculate the potential CSR and slashed NAM for the selected validator.
- View Results: The simulation results will be displayed in the table below, showing the CSR percentage and the amount of slashed NAM for each validator.
Note: This tool can only simulate a slashing scenario within a real-time epoch range (epoch -1, epoch 0, epoch +1). However, the slashing mechanism in this simulation is accurate. The only caveat is that the exact values of voting power in epoch -1 and epoch +1 are assumed to be the same as those in epoch 0, because currently the tool can only query VP (Voting Power) and TVP (Total Voting Power) data in real-time epoch.
Explanation of Epochs:
- Epoch -1: This refers to the epoch immediately before the current (real-time) epoch. It's used to simulate what would have happened if an action occurred just before the current time frame.
- Epoch 0: This is the current epoch, or the real-time epoch where we gather all immediate data from.
- Epoch +1: This represents the epoch immediately following the current one, used for forward-looking simulation scenarios to see potential future impacts based on current data.

Why Diversify Your Stake?
It’s important to diversify your stake across multiple validators. By doing so, you can minimize risk and help support a decentralized network. Consider staking with validators like Grand Valley, a legitimate validator with a proven track record.
