$NEWT FACES A FAMILIAR CENTRALIZATION QUESTION IN MULTICHAIN 🔍
Newton's trusted neutrality relies on a sufficiently distributed operator set. In early stages, staking is concentrated — top three operators likely hold a significant share. No explicit cap or slashing mechanism for excessive concentration has been detailed yet.
The permissionless relayer design solves cross-chain sync, but the operator set itself remains permissioned with quality checks. Transitioning from controlled quality to permissionless decentralization needs a clear roadmap, which isn't visible today.
What percentage of staked weight held by the top three operators would you consider a red flag for a decentralized protocol?
