NCNs

This section explains Node Consensus Networks (NCNs)

NCNs are protocols that utilize a distributed process to validate and confirm information. These networks manage a collection of nodes that work together to verify actions, transactions, and other types of information. Put simply, any system that aims to establish a decentralized network can be considered an NCN.

They include but not limited to: Blockchains, Solver networks, Cross-chain bridges, Oracle networks, and many more solutions which leverage a distributed process to validate and confirm information.

Tip Router NCN

The Jito Network’s TipRouter NCN is an ideal example of a project leveraging restaking to decentralize and secure a key cog of its infrastructure stack. It is an on-chain system that decentralizes how MEV tips are distributed by shifting authority from a single block producer to a consensus-driven validator set.

Validators vote on a Merkle root of all tips collected, and once quorum is reached, rewards are unlocked and routed to vaults. This system enhances transparency, fairness, and programmability, ensuring rewards flow directly to stakeholders which includes ezSOL stakers.
