Max Downtime Slashing
This refers to the maximum share of staked assets attributed to a validator (own & delegated stake) that can be slashed in case the validator is offline/unavaiable for a certain time period. This time period is defined by the protocol and differs for each project. In some networks (e.g. Lido), the slashed amount is 'socialized' across all delegators. This means that instead of a few parties suffering a big slash, every participant gets slashed by a small amount.

Protocol Mechanics
For better classification, differentiation and comparability of different Blockchain networks, we identified different Protocol Mechanics.
Staking Mechanics
Staking Mechanics refer to the token economics, which is a new branch of the economy that explains the structure of a particular ecosystem in the blockchain sphere. It describes the study, design, and implementation of economic systems built on blockchain technology. Each platform and blockchain application is developed under its own token-economics model.
Proof-of-Stake blockchains not only differ in terms of their 'Protocol Mechanics', but also in terms of certain staking-related parameters, e.g. their reward or inflation rate as well as certain actions that are required by delegators.
