# Slashing

Anyone can slash during the slashing window of an epoch. The caller will receive half of the slashed amount. If the caller is a staked executor, the reward will to go their internal balance within the `Coordinator` contract, otherwise the caller is rewarded by a ERC-20 transfer. The other half of the slashed amount goes to the protocol. In EES there are two situations where an active executor can be slashed:

1. Designation inactivity - if an executor is designated for a round in which they do not call the `executeBatch` function.
2. Committing without revealing - if an executor calls `commit` during an epoch without doing the followup `reveal` call during the same epoch.

Each of these comes with a different slashing amount stored on-chain as `inactiveSlashingAmountPerModule` and `commitSlashingAmountPerModule`. The actual slashed amount is either of these multiplied by the number of modules the executor has registered for. For specific deployment values please refer to [Deployments](/deployments.md).
