Shardeum as of this date has over 25,000 validator nodes on Shardeum Sphinx. Probably the largest decentralized Testnet ever!
Each time a new node becomes active the network gets faster.
Shardeum's validator repos are Open Source!
The remaining code repos will be released in a phased manner & all the repos will be open-sourced by the time we reach Mainnet in ~Q2’2023.
We still need to open-source the RPC, archiver, and protocol layer code.
