# kaal:claim:4900878-033

**Claim.** Distributing validation and execution across many nodes mitigates central point of failure risk and makes the network more resilient to attacks and disruptions, which is the security payoff of decentralization.

**Type.** mechanism  **Support.** asserted

**Holds when.**

- decentralized networks where no single node controls the system

**Source quote.**

> By distributing the validation and execution processes across numerous nodes, blockchain technology mitigates the risks associated with central points of failure and enhances the resilience of the network against attacks and disruptions.
