Recently, I noticed an interesting data comparison: TRON's Nakamoto coefficient has reached 14, while Bitcoin's is only 4. At first glance, this numerical difference doesn't seem significant, but a closer look reveals that it reflects fundamental differences in network architecture.



The Nakamoto coefficient essentially answers a key question—how many independent nodes or participants need to collude to pose a substantial threat to the entire network? From this perspective, 14 and 4 are not even in the same order of magnitude. A coefficient of 14 for TRON indicates that the network's defense capability and level of decentralization require a higher consensus threshold.

The underlying logic is quite practical: to reliably handle settlement demands exceeding 80 billion USDT, a public chain must have the corresponding security infrastructure. Institutional users are willing to deploy large-scale asset settlement services on this chain, and users are willing to hold long-term positions within the ecosystem, because of this top-tier network security architecture. Data shows that TRON's design approach to decentralization indeed makes a distinctive choice.

TRON's recent data is really interesting, but to be honest, who really understands the Nakamoto coefficient? Anyway, I think maintaining a stable 80 billion USDT is the real key.

Huh? 14 to 4 being more decentralized? That's the wrong logic, brother.

Hmm... A Nakamoto coefficient of 14 does look impressive, but can it really withstand a 51% attack? That's the real core issue.

Wait, 14 to 4 is still more decentralized, right? This number is reversed... It takes 50 nodes to reach 51%, so that’s truly decentralized, right?
