Over the past week—and honestly going back to 2020—there's been a constant stream of criticism aimed at Solana's validator distribution. Fair point on the concentration question. But here's what gets overlooked: the chain has maintained an impeccable operational track record. No reversions from hacks, no forced protocol shutdowns, no unauthorized fund recoveries (unlike certain earlier blockchain precedents). Yet the validator criticism persists. What's driving this disconnect?

Validator concentration vs. chain stability, what is this guy worried about... He's right, Solana indeed hasn't had any major issues.

ngl the validator concentration narrative is such a perfect psyops case study. everyone's fixated on decentralization theatre while solana's literally just... not breaking. classic sentiment arbitrage opportunity here tbh

It sounds like centralization is just centralization; no matter how stable, it can't change this fact.

Now we're getting to the point: having a high validator concentration is really better than being hacked.

To be honest, the validator centralization issue on Solana is indeed bothersome, but no one can deny the stability it offers.

Centralization is indeed annoying, but nothing serious has happened so far, and that's the most important thing, right?

No matter how much you talk about centralization issues, stability is the key.

I think the validator centralization issue on Solana does exist, but stability is there. No hackers, no crashes. Isn't that proof of strength?
