Hi and welcome to Q2 of 2025 and I must say, Q1 was a bit of a roller coaster with various updates and bounce across various virtual to real world assets prices. The entire market saw a deep dive down and a slow backup with BTC going below the 80k mark and also a height above 90k, while the sentiment surrounding the entire space says a new height is expected within the year 2025, one can simply ponder and wonder if technical analysis will play through like previous years.
Moving on, the narrative of build during bull and bear season is one that can never be underrated and with that, I will give a brief review into the recent monthly report shared on PlatON Network.
On March 31st 2025, PlatON posted it's monthly report publication via its medium page which was later cross-shared to X(previously called Twitter), the writeup talks about the various events that unfolded for the month of March 2025 and also cut across list of pending and upcoming events and I must say, this is one report you need to read if you are yet to.
To that, a link will be shared at the end of this post. Today's writeup/review will be focused on one of the keypoint written on PlatON Monthly Report relating to validators.
What is a validator?
PlatON is a blockchain project that implements democratic governance. Validators are jointly selected by all LAT holders to maintain and develop the PlatON network.
The above is a bit self explanatory but to further break it down, PlatON operates a democratic blockchain where every holder of LAT gets a say in what updates and future perspective PlatON will move on and at the center of it are Validators, they help in block production, network confirmation, and security in check by ensuring there is a never a 2 identical block or 2 the same transaction been processed.
The requirements to become a PlatON Validator is low when compared to other blockchains. One simply need to hold 100k LAT and a corresponding pc capable of handling multi task but not to the extent for chains like Ethereum, Bitcoin and the rest.
To the recent update, PlatON Monthly reports states that,
The maximum number of validators on PlatON will be adjusted from 201 to 225.
With this update, anyone who have previously checked on PlatON and would like to have a say within the development process of PlatON now have a chance to join. Some of the updates expected to see with this latest updates are but not limited to hasten network speed, higher block production and all round higher performance within PlatON Network.
While the updates might not be felt immediately, trust me it's one that the overall benefit is for the best.

With that I wish you a productive week.
