As a network grows and becomes more congested, these functions … Focus on decentralization To maintain true decentralization, a network should be permissionless, meaning that potential node operators should be able to join freely (as opposed to incentivizing pooling). Near uses threshold proof-of-stake, a staking technique considered both fair and predictable. This prevent…
