Theta Network employs a multi-faceted approach to security:
It uses a modified Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) consensus mechanism, which requires a two-thirds majority to validate transactions, reducing the risk of malicious activities.
It has a unique dual network structure, with the Theta Blockchain providing payment, reward, staking, and smart contract capabilities, while the Theta Edge Network handles compute, storage, and delivery tasks. This distributed architecture reduces central points of failure.
Participation in the network as a validator is managed by an enterprise validator and governance council that includes leading global companies, ensuring diverse and robust oversight of the network.
