Twenty-seven validator seats keep this chain alive. Click one to see what it is actually doing. Then look at what July 2026 really looked like.

▲ Max Validators = 27. As of July 8, 2026: 11 validators confirmed Active — including the top 3 by stake (ITRocket, Stakeflow, Coinage x DAIC) — with the remaining 16 seats' status pending confirmation, not jailed.
ACTIVE (confirmed)STATUS PENDING CONFIRMATION
"The chain is still producing blocks. BFT consensus requires only 2f+1 of 3f+1 voting power. With at least 11 of 27 validator seats confirmed active, consensus is maintained."
STAGE 2
Delegation and LNTN
Click an NTN coin, then click a validator to delegate. Watch voting power grow and a validator-specific LNTN badge appear.
"LNTN from Validator A cannot be exchanged for LNTN from Validator B. Each represents a claim on a different bonded stake, a different commission rate, and a different performance history."
"LNTN can also be used as CDP collateral — a delegator can borrow ATN against staked NTN without first unstaking."
NTN inflation rewards are automatically re-bonded to the originating validator at epoch end — protocol-level, no toggle. Only ATN fee rewards are directly claimable.
STAGE 3
Penalty Absorbing Stake (PAS)
Drag the slider from a perfect record toward inactivity and watch the buffer drain, then watch what happens after it's gone.

"OFD (Omission Fault Detection) is fully automated. The block proposer aggregates BLS precommit signatures from the previous epoch to prove which validators were inactive. No manual intervention required."
STAGE 4
Validator = Three Jobs
One validator, three non-optional responsibilities. Click a ring.
INNER — CONSENSUS
Tendermint BFT // 1-second blocks // BLS quorum certificate
Publishes FX prices // AOS v0.2.6 // Subject to OAFD
"REMOVE ANY RING AND THE PROTOCOL BREAKS."
Oracle duty is not optional. The oracle output feeds the ACU calculation, the ASM stabilisation mechanism, CDP liquidation prices, and AFP futures settlement prices — all four simultaneously.
STAGE 5
Block Production
A new block slides in roughly every second. Click any block to inspect it, or inject a synthetic transaction and watch it clear the mempool.

STAGE 6
Two P2P Channels
Transaction gossip and consensus messages never share a wire.
ETHWIRE (port 30303)
PurposeTransaction gossip
CarriesPending transactions, block bodies
RiskHigh-volume spikes during market activity
ACN — Autonity Consensus Network (port 20203)
PurposeTendermint BFT consensus messages only
CarriesProposals, prevotes, precommits, BLS quorum certificates
IntroducedAGC v0.13.0
RiskIsolated from transaction volume — consensus can proceed even during transaction-layer congestion
WHY TWO CHANNELS?
If consensus messages share ethwire bandwidth with transactions, a transaction surge can delay BFT messages and threaten liveness. ACN isolates consensus — both channels can be tuned independently.
AGC v1.1.1's clustering model (Originator / First Relayer / Local Relayer roles) was tested to 500 validators and 1,000 TPS in that configuration.

What it's for
Source
Mix of official and community-built. AFP.network and AutonityScan cover the chain and the clearing layer respectively; Adanode and the LCI are independent community projects — treated with the same care as any other community-sourced claim in this series. A separate community-built trading venue (CAX) is covered on Page 5.

● TOOL AVAILABLE — AINUMBERS.CO
The computation on this page has a working implementation in the Autonity Tool Suite on AINumbers.co. Each tool produces a fingerprint of its result — if the calculation changes, the fingerprint changes. Share it with anyone. They can verify it in seconds, in their own browser, with no server access.
