Therefore, they decided to give more time over the weekend for more active validators to join Holesky, and to coordinate large-scale penalty actions by Monday at the latest. If you are running a Holesky validator and have not yet attempted to bring it back online, please do so as soon as possible and delete your slashing protection database.
