# Hash Slinging Slasher Server Implementation
This is the main project folder for a slasher server implementation for Ethereum Serenity in Golang by [Prysmatic Labs](https://prysmaticlabs.com). A slasher listens for all broadcasted messages using a running beacon node in order to detect slashable attestations and block proposals.
It uses the [min-max-surround](https://github.com/protolambda/eth2-surround#min-max-surround) method by Protolambda.
The slasher requires a connection to a synced beacon node in order to listen for attestations and block proposals. To run the slasher, type:
```
bazel run //slasher -- \
--datadir PATH/FOR/DB \
--span-map-cache \
--beacon-rpc-provider localhost:4000
```
The beacon node entered in `beacon-rpc-provider` will then receive slashings from the slasher client and send them to any requesting proposer to be put into a block.
