Committee Election refers to the process by which a subset of network participants is selected to perform specific roles within a blockchain protocol, such as validating transactions or proposing blocks. This selection often employs cryptographic randomness or stake-weighted mechanisms to ensure fairness and decentralization. These committees contribute to the network’s security and operational efficiency.
Context
Many modern blockchain architectures, particularly those focused on scalability like sharded chains, rely on committee elections to distribute workload and enhance transaction throughput. News often reports on the security implications and decentralization aspects of these election processes, scrutinizing their resistance to manipulation or cartel formation. The integrity and randomness of committee selection are critical for the overall health of these networks.
