Managing Cluster Membership
Adding New Nodes
When new nodes join the network, they are added to existing clusters.
The system ensures that the addition of new members maintains the required security thresholds.
Removing Nodes Safely
If a node needs to be removed—due to maintenance, failure, or security concerns—the system carefully redistributes its key shares.
This ensures that the integrity and security of the cluster remain intact even after changes in membership.
