# Prysmatic Labs Hash Slinging Slasher Server Implementation
This is the main project folder for a slasher server implementation of Ethereum Serenity in Golang by [Prysmatic Labs](https://prysmaticlabs.com). A slasher listens to queries from a running beacon node in order to detect slashable attestations and block proposals.
It is advised to run the slasher in a closed network and let only your beacon node connect to it while not exposing its endpoints to the public network as DOS attacks on the slasher are easy to accomplish as the lookup for certain can have serious overhead if spammed.

Also, read the latest sharding + casper [design spec](https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-specs), this design spec serves as a source of truth for the beacon chain implementation we follow at prysmatic labs.

we are combining sharding and casper together.
