Computors vs Traditional Validators
Most blockchain validators stake tokens to participate. In many networks, more capital means more control — which can create centralization risks.
Qubic avoids that entirely.
Traditional Validators:
Require token staking
Compete for block rewards
Centralized by capital
Risk slashing
Qubic Computors:
No staking required
Vote on tick validity together
Fixed quorum based on performance
Replaced if underperforming
…the Arbitrator removes it from the Quorum and replaces it. This avoids downtime and prevents disruption.
