# Slashing During validation process, participants actively monitor each other to check if everyone cooperate according to consensus rules. In case validators nodes see any non-cooperative participant, they vote against him on-chain, which may result in slashing. During slashing misbehaving participant is removed from validator list and his stake is distributed to other validators as a reward for keeping bridge secure. ### Validator responsibilities List of main validator responsibilities: * producing new blocks in ChainFusion network * participating in DKG process when validators list is changed * participating in threshold signatures creation to confirm bridge transfers * slashing misbehaving validators * sending keep-alive packets to P2P network of validator nodes --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
