# Slashing module specification
|
|
|
|
## Abstract
|
|
|
|
This section specifies the slashing module of the Cosmos SDK, which implements functionality
|
|
first outlined in the [Cosmos Whitepaper](https://cosmos.network/about/whitepaper) in June 2016.
|
|
|
|
The slashing module enables Cosmos SDK-based blockchains to disincentivize any attributable action
|
|
by a protocol-recognized actor with value at stake by penalizing them ("slashing").
|
|
|
|
Penalties may include, but are not limited to:
|
|
- Burning some amount of their stake
|
|
- Removing their ability to vote on future blocks for a period of time.
|
|
|
|
This module will be used by the Cosmos Hub, the first hub in the Cosmos ecosystem.
