Thanks for the post @lexa !
Do I understand correctly that if a validator decides to not validate the consumer chain although it has been approved by 2/3, it would get slashed on the Cosmos Hub? Would the normal Cosmos Hub slashing rules apply?
Further, do I understand correctly that Cosmos Hub validators would still earn the same as now and ON TOP the rewards from the consumer chain?
What will happen to the “CEX Validators” such as Kraken or Coinbase. I assume they are not allowed to onboard new tokens that easily (here: potential consumer chain tokens). What if such a token would be classified as a security? Would these validators then simply vote against them and maybe overrule the “community validators” or is there some middle way? For instance, Validators could opt-in to receive the token of the consumer chain and it they don’t they would receive ATOM. Maybe the consumer chain could directly swap their token to ATOM and then send these as a rewards.
What do you guys think?
