3. The Oracle communicates that txnj was not seen in the Oracle Contract.
4. The Oracle Contract, upon receiving this information, initiates the slashing procedure. This involves penalizing the provider by triggering a slash event, which results in the forfeiture of the stake held by the provider contract as a guarantee of honest behavior.

Why is this part of the oracle description?

We offer a mechanism for locking and unlocking funds associated with a pre-confirmed bid.

Funds movement involves locking the bid amount in escrow when a commitment is processed. This occurs only once per bid, meaning if there are multiple commitments for the same bid, the funds will be locked only once.

The funds are released when the Oracle resolves the commitment. If the provider is slashed, the locked funds are unlocked and returned to the bidder.
