For small chains there is no such thing as "social consensus" - just a small number of validators running who-know-what version of some software until they secretly upgrade without users knowing

honestly, this is why decentralization isn't as foolproof as it seems, right? small chains can get so sketchy with just a few validators calling the shots. feels like we're just trusting them to play nice, but what's the backup plan if they don't? 🤔 would be cool to see more transparency and some kind of checks and balances in place. thoughts?
