An open operating system is one that is completely open and transparent. Anyone can freely participate and use the system. The design of this type of operating system allows all users and developers to access the source code and make modifications, share contributions, and participate in the improvement process.
Openness: All features and source code of the system are public, allowing anyone to view, use, and modify them. Examples include Linux and Android systems, which provide full freedom for users.
Decentralization: There is no single controlling entity; all users and developers are allowed to maintain and upgrade the system on equal terms.
A multi-organization collaborative operating system is managed and maintained by multiple independent organizations or companies. While the system itself may be open, participants must be authorized and authenticated before they can join, and the permissions of users from different organizations are managed according to specific rules.
Access Control: Participants in the system are authorized by specific organizations, and only those who meet the requirements are allowed to join and perform certain operations.
Collaboration: Multiple organizations cooperate according to established procedures and rules, jointly maintaining and improving the system. Each organization contributes resources and support based on its needs, with collaboration guided by common goals.
One of the most important roles of decentralized validators is to ensure that the transactions on the blockchain are legitimate, valid, and consistent. In traditional centralized systems, data validation and processing are typically controlled by a single entity or central server. However, in decentralized blockchain systems, validators jointly verify the validity of transactions by participating in consensus algorithms (such as PoW, PoS, etc.), ensuring that all transactions are validated and remain consistent across multiple nodes.
Decentralized validators do not have centralized control, and they all operate on an equal footing within the system. If a validator attempts to alter transaction data, other validators in the blockchain network will immediately detect the discrepancy and, through the consensus mechanism, reject the altered data, ensuring the integrity of the blockchain.
The consensus algorithm is the set of rules that ensures all participants in the blockchain system agree on the state of the data. Decentralized validators are the core participants in executing these algorithms. They independently validate transactions and share information within the blockchain network. Depending on the consensus algorithm used, the role of validators may differ:
Proof of Work (PoW): Validators (miners) need to solve complex mathematical problems through extensive computation, and the first one to solve the problem is granted the right to add a new block to the blockchain.
Proof of Stake (PoS): Validators must lock up a certain amount of cryptocurrency as "stake" to participate in the validation process. The blockchain network then selects validators based on the amount of stake they hold.
In either case, decentralized validators are responsible for ensuring that each block's contents are valid and legitimate. This allows all participants to trust the transactions without the need for a central authority, relying instead on the multi-party validation process.
