The validator mechanism also differs from other networks. Validators in the Solana network take turns being selected by the system as "leaders". Leaders check groups of four blocks; each queue lasts 1.6 seconds. The chances of being chosen as a leader are proportional to the number of SOL coins. In such a system, it is virtually impossible for individual validators or groups of validators to attack or compromise the network.
There are currently about 1,700 active validators in the Solana network, much of it owned by the development team, which often leads to criticism that the network is decentralized. You too can become a validator thanks to the sol node. You should figure out what it is, and you might be well rewarded for all this work.
