The Nakamoto Coefficient is one of the most widely used metrics for measuring blockchain
decentralization. It represents the minimum number of independent entities, such as validators
in Proof-of-Stake (PoS) networks or miners in Proof-of-Work (PoW) networks, that would need to
collude to compromise the network.
A higher Nakamoto Coefficient means a network is more secure, censorship-resistant, and resilient
against coordinated attacks. For PoS blockchains, the Nakamoto Coefficient reflects how many validators
control at least 33% of the total stake or voting power. For PoW blockchains, it measures how many
miners control over 50% of the network's total hash power.
With Chainspect's real-time Nakamoto Coefficient dashboard, you can track and compare decentralization
across 50+ blockchains. See which networks have the most robust validator or miner distributions,
monitor changes over time, and assess the relative security of different ecosystems.
Decentralization is more than a buzzword — it's a core pillar of blockchain's value. Use our live
data to make informed decisions, whether you're investing, building, or researching Web3 infrastructure.
