Validator Selection:- In TAN's (BPoS) system, validators are randomly selected to create blocks. This random selection ensures fairness and prevents any single entity from dominating the block creation process, promoting decentralization.
Block Validation:- Validators' rewards are based on their performance—those who actively create blocks and validate transactions earn higher rewards. Poor performance or failure to follow network rules results in fewer rewards, encouraging validators to maintain high standards. This performance-based system prevents centralization and ensures a broad range of participants help secure the network, contributing to a more decentralized, resilient, and secure ecosystem.
In TAN’s (BPoS) system, 20% of each block’s reward is allocated to validators. This reward is given to validators as compensation for their role in securing the network, validating transactions, and proposing new blocks. The 20% allocation ensures that validators have a strong incentive to participate in the network’s consensus mechanism, thereby maintaining the blockchain’s security and decentralization.
TAN’s (BPoS) system ensures validator integrity by using slashing penalties for inactivity or malicious behavior, such as hacking. Validators who act dishonestly lose a portion of their stake, which is burned, reducing the network's token supply. This promotes security, discourages bad behavior, and maintains a healthy ecosystem.
