PoS Validators: The Backbone of Stability

Role and Responsibilities PoS validators form the foundational layer, ensuring network stability, security, and uptime. By staking tokens, they commit to honest behavior, facing potential slashing if caught acting maliciously. This economic incentive ensures that even if trust distributions shift, the network retains a solid, stake-secured core.

Authority and Write Access PoS validators hold “write” authority over on-chain trust score data. While AI nodes calculate trust scores and the PoT layer depends on these scores, the final act of recording or updating trust metrics resides with the PoS validators. This ensures sensitive updates are vetted by economically secured participants, maintaining fairness and tamper-resistance.
