Securing Freedom to Build: How MilkyWay Empowers Developers with Programmable Rules

In the complex world of blockchain development, builders need more than just basic security, they need flexibility and control. MilkyWay’s Programmable Rules provide the perfect solution, offering a customizable framework that adapts to each project’s unique needs, ensuring the freedom to build to meet the dynamic use cases of every project.

What are Programmable Rules?

At the heart of MilkyWay’s innovation, Programmable Rules allow AVSs (Actively Validated Services) to tailor how assets are delegated, distributed, and slashed within their networks. This modular approach ensures that projects can maintain their autonomy while optimizing security.

Delegation Rules: Customizing Security

MilkyWay’s Delegation Rules are divided into two key areas:

  • Asset Allocation Rules: AVSs can select which assets to use for security, enabling them to gradually transition from rented security to full reliance on their native tokens. This flexibility is crucial for projects aiming to grow their token value without risking sudden market disruptions.
  • Operator Stake Rules: These rules give AVSs control over how operator stakes are managed, whether through an operator-centric model or a fully customizable AVS-centric approach, including allowing users to choose the AVS they secure. This ensures that each project can implement the staking strategy that best suits its needs.

Slashing Rules: Flexible Penalties for a Robust Network

MilkyWay’s Slashing Rules offer a range of penalty options that go beyond traditional models:

  • Stake Slash: Redistributes an operator’s stake to others in response to violations, maintaining network security while encouraging operator improvement.
  • Jail Slash: Temporarily sidelines underperforming operators, allowing them to recover without fully removing them from the network.
  • Burn Slash: The traditional approach, burning staked assets for the most severe offenses.

These customizable slashing options allow AVSs to implement fair and effective security measures that protect the network while fostering a supportive environment for operators.

Conclusion: Your Project, Your Rules

MilkyWay is redefining blockchain security by offering a modular, customizable restaking platform. With Programmable Rules, developers can take full control of their security models, ensuring the freedom to build and scale in a dynamic ecosystem.
