Description: Toni Wahrstätter presents anti-correlation penalties, a staking incentive idea in which validators are penalized more heavily when many of them fail at the same time than when one fails alone. The design is meant to reward operators for diversifying their clients, hardware and infrastructure, which would strengthen Ethereum's resilience against correlated failures.
