If Solana's validator node staking concentration exceeds 80%, it could trigger significant consensus mechanism changes. High concentration risks centralization, reducing the network's censorship resistance. The Proof of Stake (PoS) system, reliant on stake-weighted votes, may face vulnerabilities as a smaller group of validators could dominate consensus, increasing the likelihood of collusion or attacks. This could prompt proposals like adjusting inflation rates or implementing penalties for over-concentration to incentivize decentralization. Additionally, mechanisms like Alpenglow, with components like Votor and Rotor, might adapt by requiring more voting rounds for finality, balancing speed and security to mitigate risks from such staking concentration.
