Decentralization

Network Distribution

Valeo leverages the Solana blockchain's decentralized validator network:

Network Statistics:

Metric	Value	Significance
Active Validators	1,900+	High decentralization
Geographic Distribution	40+ countries	Resistant to regional failures
Nakamoto Coefficient	31	Strong censorship resistance
Average Block Time	400ms	Near-instant finality
Network Uptime	99.9%+	High reliability

Why Decentralization Matters

1. Censorship Resistance

   • No single entity can block transactions

   • No discriminatory access policies

   • Permissionless participation

2. Operational Resilience

   • No single point of failure

   • Geographic redundancy

   • 24/7 operation regardless of business hours

3. Trust Minimization

   • Code-enforced rules, not policy

   • Transparent operations

   • Verifiable execution
