Solana

0-day critical bug quietly patched in supermajority of Solana validators before public disclosure: https://solana.com/news/post-mortem-may-2-2025

As of Aug 2024, 72% of Solana validators receive delegated stake from the Solana Foundation which requires KYC.

Perk of knowing who your supermajority of validators are *and* have them be economically dependent on you is that you can quietly roll out a consensus changing patch without any public accountability.
