Is the consensus derived by a number of nodes or a single one validating the transactions?
Consensus is reached collectively by multiple nodes. They all share transaction info using the gossip protocol and then use virtual voting to agree on the order, ensuring decentralized security and fairness
Do you have any idea how many nodes are running?
Hedera's council typically consists of around 39 organizations, each operating at least one node. This setup supports a decentralized model that reinforces network security and fairness without relying on a single point of validation
