A Layer 1’s shift from PoW to PoS reducing nodes from 1,000 to 200 typically signals lower decentralization, as PoS often requires higher staking thresholds (e.g., tens of thousands of tokens) to run a node—excluding small holders. For long-term security, it depends on the PoS design: if the protocol has strict slashing mechanisms (penalizing malicious nodes by seizing staked funds) and a diverse node pool (e.g., nodes spread across regions), security risks may be mitigated. But if nodes are concentrated in a few entities (e.g., 10 firms controlling 80% of staked assets), the network becomes vulnerable to censorship or attacks—eroding community trust over time.
