SSV Network Attributes September 2025 Slashing Incidents to External Factors

BTCCSquare news:
SSV Network's post-mortem analysis of the September 10, 2025 slashing incidents confirms external operational errors—not protocol flaws—caused 40 validator disruptions. The first event affected a single validator; the second, 1.5 hours later, impacted 39 more. Both stemmed from key management missteps outside SSV's infrastructure.
Validator operators are urged to enforce strict key isolation, maintain single-cluster instances, and prioritize slashing protection during migrations. The network's integrity remains intact, but the incidents underscore the fragility of peripheral systems in decentralized ecosystems.
