Decentralization Score (0–100) promotes decentralization: smaller, high-performance validators in underrepresented regions score higher, while large stake concentrators get penalized.
The score combines validator performance, stake size, superminority status, hosting and location concentration, geographic diversity, and commission. It favors reliable smaller validators that help reduce network concentration, while validators with concentrated stake, superminority exposure, clustered infrastructure, or higher commission receive a lower score.
