Penalties and Slashing

Yes - On providing incorrect POI, the slashing parameter currently set to 2.5% of an Indexer's self stake.

Burn Mechanism

The Graph uses multiple burning mechanisms to offset new GRT issuance. About 1% of the GRT supply is burned annually through network activities. This includes a 0.5% delegation tax, a 1% curation tax, and 1% of query fees. A slashing mechanism also exists to penalize malicious Indexers, where 50% of their rewards and 1.25% of their self-stake are burned.

Validator Self-Bond Requirement

100,000 GRT to operate an indexer. However, delegation capacity is set to 16 * self-bond (meaning you need a higher self-bond if you want more delegations)

Inflation

3% annual

Validator Set Diversity

Anyone can be an Indexer on The Graph as long as they fulfil the requirements
