In its initial stages, the Centaur Chain will be bootstrapped by a small network of validator nodes run by the team and some of its partners to maintain high uptime on the nodes, which in turn ensures the stability of the network. In time to come these validators will gradually be removed as the mainnet stabilises. There will initially be a small network of validator nodes being run by the internal team and some of its partners, to maintain fluidity in executing necessary amendments on the mainnet. Centaur Chain is expecting to onboard more validators in the future, while aiming to eventually acquire a hundred validators by the time its mainnet reaches maturity.
