# Security Properties
|
||||
|
||||
- Wormhole is a decentralized proof-of-authority system. All nodes - called guardians - have equal voting power.
|
||||
|
||||
A 2/3+ majority is required for guardians to achieve consensus.
|
||||
|
||||
The guardian set will consist of Solana validators, reputable community members, ecosystem stake holders
|
||||
and other parties whose incentives strongly align with Solana and Solana ecosystem projects like Serum.
|
||||
|
||||
- We believe that this model is easier to implement and reason about and more likely to result in incentive alignment
|
||||
with Solana ecosystem stakeholders than launching a separate PoS chain.
|
||||
|
||||
- It is possible to add staking in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
- Wormhole is leaderless. All nodes perform the same computation upon observing an event.
|
||||
|
||||
- Wormhole acts as a decentralized cross-chain oracle, observing finalized transactions on one
|
||||
chain and producing a joint signed statement of all guardians on another chain.
