$NEWT GATEWAY DESIGN CHALLENGES THE DEFINITION OF DECENTRALIZATION ๐ฅ
Newton's Gateway role rotates via VRF each epoch, preventing a fixed coordinator from becoming a single point of failure. This elegantly removes the "fixed node" attack surface โ but the reality of staked concentration creates a subtle flaw.
If the majority of
$NEWT stake sits with a few operators, those operators win the Gateway role far more often. Rotation is random, but the probability distribution itself can remain centralized. Is formal rotation the same as genuine decentralization?
Not financial advice. Always manage your risk.
