On Validators, Access, and Alignment

In a recent Quadrillions episode, Yuval Rooz spoke about what validator participation should look like in practice, and how that connects to the original promise of blockchain.

On many networks, becoming a validator effectively requires staking tens of millions, which excludes the very teams this technology was meant to open doors for.

Canton takes a different approach.

Super Validators on Canton Network are not selected simply because they can post the most capital, but because they add the most value: smaller crypto firms and operators that showed up early, shipped, onboarded users, and put real work into the network.

The core principle is straightforward:
alignment should come from contribution and responsibility, not just balance sheet size.
