Solana Prioritizes Community Validators

Network Decentralization

Solana is shifting its focus to community validators, aiming to enhance network decentralization and resilience. Previously reliant on internal validators, the foundation is now actively encouraging external participation.

Reduced Internal Reliance

The change comes after network instability issues, attributed partly to the dominance of internal validators. By distributing validation power, Solana aims to mitigate future disruptions and strengthen its overall infrastructure.

Community Empowerment

This move empowers the Solana community, granting them more control over the network. It also fosters a more robust and distributed validation system, key to long-term stability and growth. The foundation believes this shift is crucial for the future success of the Solana ecosystem.

Technical Improvements

Alongside this policy shift, Solana is implementing technical upgrades to improve network performance and stability. These changes are designed to complement the increased community involvement in validation.

Long-Term Vision

Solana views this decentralization effort as a critical step in its long-term roadmap. By fostering a stronger, more distributed network, Solana aims to become a leading player in the decentralized web space. The focus on community validators signifies a commitment to shared governance and a more resilient future.
