teku slashing-protection repair --network=<NETWORK>

Example

teku slashing-protection repair --network=mainnet

Predefined network configuration. Accepts a predefined network name, or file path or URL to a YAML configuration file. The default is mainnet.

Possible values are:

Network	Chain	Type	Description
