Forum post article by Chaos Labs
This post provided an update to the on risk status of pzETH given Symbiotic’s mainnet launch. TLDR; “There is currently no additional slashing risk as no pzETH Networks have enabled it in their middleware contracts. Chaos Labs and the Renzo team continue to monitor slashing closely and will constantly evaluate all Networks to ensure they provide sufficient Risk-Adjusted Return to pzETH stakers and do not create the risk of a material slashing event on Renzo.”
