Distributed verifiers are independent nodes or participants within a decentralized network responsible for confirming the validity of transactions and maintaining the integrity of the blockchain. They collectively enforce network rules and reach consensus on the state of the ledger. This distribution of verification power enhances security and censorship resistance.

Their role is critical in preventing malicious actors from altering transaction histories or disrupting network operations. The number and geographical distribution of verifiers are important metrics for assessing a network’s decentralization.
