Validator participation and the level of decentralization on the Dusk network
Dusk Network is an infrastructure blockchain focused on privacy and compliant financial applications, founded in 2018. From the very beginning, Dusk chose a more difficult path, building a network capable of meeting institutional requirements while still preserving the core spirit of decentralization in blockchain.
When it comes to validators on Dusk, it's not just about how many there are, but more about how well the power is spread around the network.The SBA stuff means more people can help validate things, so we're not just relying on a few folks.I really appreciate that decision-making isn't just in the hands of a couple of big players here; I've seen too many networks slowly go that way, and it's something I value.
The level of decentralization on Dusk is reflected in how validators are encouraged to commit long term, aligning their incentives with the stability of the network. Instead of chasing rapid growth, Dusk chooses controlled expansion. From my perspective, this is a design philosophy for those who understand that “security and decentralization are not slogans”, but the foundation that allows a network to survive across multiple market cycles.
