# 5.4.2 Penalisation of Hosts

As mentioned in a previous section, quality monitoring and user review processes might result in decreasing the size of revenue and rewards that hosts would normally get, however hosts can be also penalized for other malicious behaviors or actions oriented at harming Wicrypt ecosystem.

![There are 4 types of penalties predicted for hosts in Wicrypt ecosystem](/files/tjHybXX0eaDzwDYZyeZW)

Exact freezing and slashing severity penalties will depend on severity and damages caused by malicious behaviors.

It’s worth mentioning that the above system is applicable only in case of physical hosts, as digital routers are managed directly by the Wicrypt network.
