While centralized security levers may sound like sacrilege to decentralization maximalists, Edlebeck describes it as a feature rather than a bug. He says the security customizations allow chains to run more efficiently without sacrificing decentralized security in its entirety. As he explained, “You can make customizations at the. validator level – whether it's their geographic location, or whether. it's the technical specifications that they need to have to be able to run your validator – you can customize your chain for your own needs,” he said. He added that these customizations are a feature not a bug, but a feature that allows chains to be more efficient and more secure in terms of their own security needs to be customized. Source
