Cyber Capital founder Justin Bons recently shared a change in perspective on social media: his previous assessment of Solana's decentralization level was biased.



Specifically, Bons initially assigned a Nakamoto coefficient of 21 to SOL, but after re-evaluating the calculation method, this number was adjusted to 11. The decrease in value actually reflects a change in the evaluation dimension — he now uses staking scale as the core indicator, rather than simply counting validator nodes.

This adjustment is quite interesting. It shows that even professional investment institutions are continuously refining their evaluation frameworks for blockchain projects. Viewing decentralization from the staking scale perspective can more accurately reflect the distribution of network power. In contrast, a higher number of validators does not necessarily mean higher decentralization. As one of the leading public chains, Solana's network parameters and governance structure have always been a focus of market discussion.

Satoshi Nakamoto's coefficient has dropped from 21 to 11. This move is a bit awkward haha

Haha, dropping from 21 to 11, this move is pretty intense. In terms of staking scale, it's really more painful. Having more validators doesn't help; the key is who holds the coins.

Sol is still the same; changing the numbers is pointless.

Changing the data again? Dropping from 21 to 11, this guy is really serious about the calculations.

Haha, dropping from 21 to 11, Bons is admitting defeat. What does that mean? Just tweak the algorithm, and the numbers can change. The staking scale indicator sounds professional, but does it really indicate the problem? Not necessarily.
