_61ky··on Sui fobbed off my disclosure that nearly 40% of their validators are exposed
Yeah, exactly. It isn't. At one point, someone in their team sent me a internal DDOS audit for the sui application. And basically said "no problems". Erm.

What’s ironic is that Aptos (their supposed arch nemesis) came back clean as a whistle on our first pass. Yet it’s Sui always "out there winning" because of their massive marketing spend.

That said, I started publishing the node scores to the blockchain and someone did ask me if they should move their staked funds from one that was sub-standard.... Yes, you should.

Quite... Also, simpler than that, don’t even need 51%! At ~33% you hit the Byzantine limit and consensus dies. And I doubt anyone running one of these validators knows what a backup is.
