🚀 Committee to expand to 50 out of 120+ validators in a leap towards decentralization We’re pleased to announce that we’re just a few steps away from further decentralizing the network. Today, the block-producing committee has increased to 50 nodes on the Testnet and after over two weeks of successful testing, the change will be pushed to Mainnet. Previously, Aleph Zero's block production was managed by a committee of 14 nodes, randomly selected for each session–that is about every 15 minutes–from a pool of all available network validators. As of the time of writing, it nears 130 on the Mainnet and 80 on the Testnet. This setup was in place until the Mainnet 11.0 update, which separated the committees responsible for block production and finalization. The Aleph Zero Foundation (AZF) held a supermajority in both processes. However, today marks a transformative moment in the network's evolution. The block-producing committee has been expanded to 50 nodes, with only 10 of these being AZF nodes. This shift effectively places the power of block production into the community's hands. Now on the Testnet and soon on the Mainnet. For those interested in real-time updates, you can monitor this change under the Performance tab on test.azero.dev. Stay tuned as we progress with the network’s decentralization! 🆇 Like and repost 📖 Learn more
