Managers stake ACU on the compute they promise. Fall short, and the stake is slashed in proportion. That keeps the network stable.
How it works: → Every phone's compute is measured each epoch (~90 min) → Only the missing part is penalized. Commitments that are met keep receiving rewards → Anyone can spot a shortfall and trigger the slash → 90% of slashed ACU is burned
Delegators share both the rewards and the risk, so check a manager's Stake Health before you delegate.
