> **Visual Note:** A line chart titled "THORChain's Nakamoto Coefficient Over Time" from Raynalytics tracks two metrics—Operator NC (halt, >1/3) and Node-level NC—from around 2022 through July 2026, showing node-level NC gradually declining from ~37 to ~31 while operator-level NC remains steady near 3, illustrating how THORChain's decentralization has evolved over time.

@THORChain
 becoming more or less decentralized over time?

You can now track it on the new Nakamoto Coefficient dashboard.

A clearer view of how the network’s decentralization evolves over time."

> **Video Content:** A young toddler with a scrunched, bewildered facial expression squeezes their eyes shut and raises small fists in apparent protest or frustration, while an adult smiles behind them throughout the sequence. The baby's mouth opens wide as if crying or yelling, with their clenched hands held up near their face in a tense, agitated posture. The painfully adorable meltdown unfolds as a crowd reaction, fitting the post's tone of "You love to see it."
