Bribing Attacks
It is a case where Validators (Block Producers) pay for their
votes, they pay a small percentage of their earning per block. Although it may
be good for some people, in the long term it will harm as the Validators who
would do this wouldn’t be able to scale up their systems and hence the block
production will be slowed down.
To tackle these attacks there is a **voting
decay** concept where freshly cast votes are considered full while other votes
will slowly decay until they have a minimal impact after 2 years. This will
encourage participation and slowly discount those who just cast their votes
