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.**
