Welcome to PGDN Research Hub
Welcome to PGDN Research Hub
We're excited to launch our research hub, a dedicated space where we share cutting-edge insights on decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) security, blockchain infrastructure protection, and the evolving landscape of distributed systems security.
What You'll Find Here
Our research hub will feature:
- Security Analysis: Deep dives into emerging threats and vulnerabilities in DePIN networks
- Infrastructure Studies: Research on validator security, node protection, and network resilience
- Industry Reports: Analysis of security trends across different blockchain networks
- Technical Guides: Best practices for securing decentralized infrastructure
Our Mission
As the decentralized web continues to grow, so do the security challenges. Our research aims to:
- Identify emerging security threats in DePIN networks
- Analyze vulnerabilities across different infrastructure types
- Develop innovative protection mechanisms
- Share knowledge with the broader community
Stay Connected
Follow our research as we explore the intersection of security, decentralization, and infrastructure. Together, we're building a more secure decentralized future.
This is the beginning of our journey. Stay tuned for in-depth research, analysis, and insights from the PGDN team.

Validator Slashing Incidents Are a Warning. Sui Could Be Next.
Recent Ethereum validator slashings showed how fragile infra can be. Our scan of Sui uncovered something worse: nearly 40% of validator voting power exposed.
Sui Validator Network Exposed: Nearly 40% at Risk
PGDN's August 2025 scan of the Sui validator set revealed nearly 40% of voting power exposed to SSH, CVEs, and misconfigurations — leaving the network one step away from consensus failure.
Sui Validator Security Benchmark — September 2025
PGDN’s September 2025 benchmark provides a consolidated security snapshot of all Sui validators. Scores ranged from 15 to 93, with a median of 45, and 18.5% meeting our good practice threshold. This dataset, heatmap, and Discord bot give validators tools to improve, while offering delegators transparency when choosing staking providers.
