# 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.**
For a detailed overview of NCNs, please refer to the official Jito blog [here](https://www.jito.network/blog/what-is-jito-tiprouter/).
