Can I run Slinky on the same machine as my validator?

Yes, you can run it anywhere - but please defer to any chain-specific reccommendations if there are any!

Can I get slashed for running Slinky?

Not usually. If a chain uses Slinky and requires oracle prices to be posted, running the Slinky sidecar is the best way to avoid downtime or incorrect prices. For more information, check out the Incentivization Docs.

Many chains will reward good operation of Slinky with additional validator yield, make sure to ask the team!

Does Slinky take up a lot of resources?

No, it's a very lightweight binary.

Can I contribute to Slinky?

Yes - feel free to contribute via opening an issue in our repo!
