# Distributed Validator

### Introduction

The Monbux protocol ensures **security, decentralization, and reliability** by leveraging a distributed validator architecture. Instead of relying on a single validator, user stakes are delegated across multiple validators, reducing risk and improving network stability.

***

### Why Distributed Validators?

* **Reduced Risk of Slashing**: Staking across multiple validators minimizes the impact of any single validator failure.
* **Enhanced Security**: Decentralization makes the system less vulnerable to attacks or central points of failure.
* **Fair Rewards**: Validator distribution ensures fair allocation of staking rewards among participants.
* **Network Resilience**: Supports the long-term stability of Monad’s ecosystem.

### How It Works

1. **Stake Delegation**
   * When users stake MON, their tokens are pooled.
   * The pool is then distributed to a carefully selected set of validators.
2. **Validator Selection**
   * Validators are chosen based on performance, uptime, and reputation.
   * The system automatically rebalances stake if a validator underperforms.
3. **Reward Distribution**
   * Staking rewards from all validators are collected.
   * Rewards are distributed proportionally to all gMON holders.

### Key Benefits for Users

* **Security**: Your stake is never dependent on a single validator.
* **Efficiency**: Automated rebalancing keeps performance optimized.
* **Transparency**: Validator performance metrics will be publicly available.
* **Participation**: Future governance will allow users to influence validator selection criteria.

### Future Enhancements

* **Validator Marketplace**: Users may select validators based on custom preferences.
* **Dynamic Rebalancing**: More advanced algorithms to optimize yield and reduce risk.
* **Governance Integration**: Community-driven proposals to include/exclude validators.
