A core validator set refers to the collection of nodes or entities responsible for verifying transactions and maintaining the integrity of a proof-of-stake or delegated proof-of-stake blockchain network. These validators play a crucial role in the network’s consensus mechanism, proposing and confirming new blocks. The composition and decentralization of this set directly influence the security and censorship resistance of the protocol. Their collective actions uphold the network’s operational continuity.
Context
The current discussion surrounding core validator sets often pertains to their decentralization level and potential for collusion or undue influence. A key debate involves designing incentive structures that promote a broad distribution of validation power while maintaining network efficiency. Future developments will focus on enhancing the robustness and geographical distribution of validator operations to strengthen network resilience against attacks or single points of failure.
