According to CriptoNoticias, Solana's active validators have dropped from more than 2,500 to about 800 since March 2023, a decrease of more than 68%.
The community opinion on this phenomenon is divided: one side believes that "removing the witch (Sybil) node" will help the health of the network; the other side (including some infrastructure teams) claims that most of the recent exits are real operators, who choose to withdraw due to economic and operation costs. The actual impact on decentralization depends on the number of independent validators still alive and the distribution of pledge/voting rights.
