Validators are the essential infrastructure that powers Plume. These strategic partnerships ensure that Plume’s validator network is not only technically robust and geographically distributed, but also deeply connected to leading institutions and innovators across the global blockchain landscape. As we continue to grow, Plume will onboard additional validators to further enhance regional and strategic diversity across our network.
High-Quality Validator Selection
Plume has evaluated hundreds of validator companies and entities, selecting only the highest-tier contributors for our Genesis cohort. Our validator selection criteria emphasizes several key factors:
- Strategic contributions: Helping build the network and ecosystem
- Uptime and reliability: Consistent performance and availability
- Hardware quality: Professional-grade infrastructure and cloud technology
- Historical performance: Proven track record on other blockchain networks
- Institutional reputation: Large, reputable institutions and experienced infrastructure companies
Geographic and Operational Distribution
True decentralization requires geographic distribution of validators to prevent any single country or region from controlling the network. Plume has carefully selected validators from diverse locations and backgrounds, ensuring no centralized entity can manipulate the network or create single points of failure. Plume will continue to onboard validators from a variety of regions and backgrounds as the network scales.
Critical for Real-World Assets
For a network focused on Real-World Assets (RWA), validator quality becomes even more critical. Unlike purely digital tokens, RWAs represent real economic value tied to physical property, legal contracts, and complex regulatory frameworks. This elevates the stakes dramatically – any lapse in validator integrity or performance can directly impact asset ownership, compliance, and financial security. Our commitment is to deliver the most diverse, reputable, and high-quality validator network in the industry.
