To ensure robust security and promote decentralized operations, the DBX network will implement three distinct validator models. These models include: 1) Internal Validators — nodes managed directly by the DBX team, designed to launch with a stable node count and contribute to network stability from the outset. 2) Partner Validators — these validators will be operated by trusted partners and integrators who have undergone KYC verification, significantly enhancing reliability. 3) Community Validators — users can participate in decentralization through staking delegation for running nodes. This approach empowers community members while promoting network participation. Details regarding the rollout of these models will be announced at a later date.
