Definition ∞ Randomized team formation is a process where participants are assigned to groups or teams through a non-deterministic or unpredictable method. This approach ensures impartiality and prevents collusion or pre-selection biases. It promotes fairness in distributed systems and helps maintain the integrity of collaborative tasks.
Context ∞ In certain blockchain consensus mechanisms, particularly those involving committees or validator groups, randomized team formation is employed to improve security and decentralization. By preventing malicious actors from predicting and targeting specific groups, this method strengthens the network’s resistance to attacks. News regarding protocol upgrades often details how such randomization contributes to the overall robustness and trustworthiness of a blockchain.
