            ## Staking rewards and penalties
            * Rewards - proposing new blocks, attesting new blocks
            * Penalties - Being offline, attesting to invalid/contradicting blocks
            * Slashing - incorrect signing of blocks in same slot, creating contradictory forks, double signing indetical keys running on 2 different validators simultaneously
            ---
            ### Slashing
            * malicious actors
            * over engineering infrastructure solutions
            * mistaked made when migrating validator clients
            * implementation
            ---
            ## staking at scale
            * design infrastructure, tooling 
            * secure, safe, scalable and speed
            * secure - key security
            * safe - slashing protection, penalty precautions
            * scalable - automate key generation
            ---
            ## solutions
            * remote signer has access to private keys
            * fleet of validator clients
            * have ways to spin up validator deterministically
            * Shamir's secret may be in secure vault?
