Solana (SOL) has announced that its Nakamoto Coefficient score now surpasses several leading blockchains, making it one of the most decentralized networks. The Nakamoto Coefficient measures the least number of nodes required to successfully attack a blockchain, and a higher score indicates a more decentralized and robust network. Solana's score now beats Ethereum, Avalanche, Cosmos, and Polygon, among others.
This achievement follows a series of positive developments for Solana, which has been criticized in the past for being less decentralized than its competitors, resulting in several network outages during its first two years on mainnet. The addition of a new validator client by Jito Labs and the inclusion of more nodes in the network have improved Solana's resilience.
Despite a pessimistic outlook on the market, SOL has outperformed the rest of the crypto market in 2023, rising 133% year-to-date. The CoinCodex price prediction algorithm forecasts a +343.67% move for SOL by October 4th, 2024. As Solana continues to optimize its network, it is becoming more robust and decentralized, solidifying its position as one of the most scalable blockchains.
