Validator Rotation System
Ensuring network security and decentralization through dynamic validator selection.
System Overview
Our validator rotation system uses stake-weighted randomness and cryptographic proofs to select validators while maintaining network integrity.
Implementation Details
Selection Formula
SELECT validator_id
FROM validators
WHERE status = 'active'
ORDER BY RAND(stake_amount + block_hash)
LIMIT max_validators;
Rotation Schedule
- • New validator set every 24 hours
- • 50% overlap with previous set
- • 48-hour cooldown after slashing
Ensuring network stability while providing fresh validator sets regularly.
Security Features
Protection Mechanisms
- • Double-signing detection
- • Slashing for malicious behavior
- • Stake-based fault tolerance
Governance Impact
Validator rotation parameters (minimum stake, validator count, and slashing conditions) are modifiable through our on-chain governance system. These changes require quadratic voting from the community.
Current Parameters
- • Minimum stake: 5,000 tokens
- • Max validators: 4096
- • Slashing threshold: 0.5%
- • Epoch length: 24 hours
Upcoming Changes
- • Dynamic stake formula
- • Delegator protection
- • Emergency override
