The Luna Classic (LUNC) network has seen its Nakamoto Index fall to 4, signaling a potential shift in validator decentralization. Over the past three months, the index fluctuated between 4 and 6, showing periods of improved distribution followed by rapid declines.
The Nakamoto Index measures how many entities control over 33% of network voting power. A lower index means fewer validators have more influence, raising questions about network resilience against coordinated attacks or governance manipulation.
In July, the index climbed to 6, suggesting better decentralization. However, in mid-August, it sharply dropped back to 4, where it currently stands. This sudden change highlights the need for continuous community engagement and delegation strategies to maintain security.
For Luna Classic stakeholders, keeping the network decentralized is critical. Community delegators are encouraged to spread voting power across smaller validators rather than concentrating it among a few top ones.
