As of February 15, 2025, the number of validators for each blockchain is as follows: Bitcoin: Bitcoin doesn't use validators in the same way as proof-of-stake networks. Instead, it uses miners for its proof-of-work system. The number of miners is not specified in the search results. Ethereum: Ethereum has reached 1 million validators, with 32 million ETH staked[8]. This is a significant increase from the 500,000 validators reported in January 2023[2]. Cardano: Cardano has over 3,000 validator nodes[6]. This number has grown since April 2021, when it had 2,076 validators[9]. Solana: Solana has 1,414 validators and 3,100 RPCs, totaling 4,514 nodes[10]. This is an increase from the previous report of over 3,400 validators, including over 2,400 consensus nodes[4]. Sui: Sui currently has only 100 validators[5]. It's important to note that the number of validators doesn't necessarily equate to the level of decentralization, as other factors such as stake distribution and geographical diversity also play crucial roles.
