# What is Slashing, and how will you prevent it?

Slashing is when you're doing something that you're not suppose (whether intentional or not), which results in losing have of your PLS stake and getting kicked out of the network.

To prevent slashing, we can't be using the 24 seed words on two validating computers at the same time. When it comes to validator uptime, the goal is to keep it >95%. Wifi & power does go out from time-to-time, however we'll have battery backups should this happen.
