What Is the Importance of “Node Diversity” in Preventing Sybil Attacks?

Node diversity ensures that the oracle network is composed of independent entities operating across different geographical locations, using various infrastructure providers, and having no shared control. This heterogeneity makes it exponentially harder for a single attacker to coordinate and control a sufficient number of nodes to compromise the aggregated data feed, which is the goal of a Sybil attack.
