The system is specifically designed to avoid centralized bottlenecks, meaning that every function remains entirely open and permissionless. Requiring official team approval for even a single activity would create an unnecessary choke point. Because of this decentralized approach, anyone is free to participate in requesting, reporting, validating, disputing, selecting, delegating, and relaying. We invite you to simulate and explore these responsibilities prior to making a full commitment by visiting https://operator.tellor.io.
