Fabric's Validator Set Isn't Open. The Foundation Picks Who Validates First.
permissionless is the promise.
the whitepaper is more careful with its language.
initial validator set will be selected through a "permissioned process" — foundation-appointed partners. not open applications. not token-weighted selection. foundation decides who validates the network at launch.
that means every transaction, every task assignment, every slash decision in the early network passes through validators that one organization chose.
decentralized validator selection is listed as a roadmap item. hybrid model first. open participation later. timeline not published.
buying ROBO today means trusting the foundation's validator picks until the roadmap delivers otherwise.
that might be fine. early networks need trusted participants before they can trust open ones.
but permissioned and decentralized aren't the same word. worth knowing which one describes today. 🤔
