Cyber Capital founder Justin Bons recently posted a candid reflection, admitting that his previous assessment of Solana was biased. Here's what happened — he had publicly claimed that SOL's Satoshi Nakamoto coefficient reached 21, but after updating the calculation logic, this number was corrected to 11.
What is the Satoshi Nakamoto coefficient? Simply put, it is an indicator of a chain's decentralization level. The higher the number, the more decentralized the network.
Bons explained that the key to the correction was changing the evaluation method. Originally, he based the calculation on the number of validators, but it was shifted to staking scale as the measurement standard. This methodological adjustment directly affected the final result — dropping from 21 to 11.
This reflects that when assessing the health of a public chain, data from different dimensions can lead to divergent conclusions. For SOL holders and ecosystem participants, understanding these technical indicator changes is quite worth paying attention to.

The number of validators is now based on staked amount, with the indicator halved, which means Solana might not be as decentralized... We need to pay attention to the staking status of these major wallet addresses.

Huh? 21 to 11, that's a pretty big difference. Feels like they're passing the buck.

21 dropped to 11, haha, how long will it take to get proven wrong before you admit it?
