What Is the Role of Individual Miners in Voluntarily Mitigating the 51% Risk?

Individual miners play a crucial role by actively choosing to direct their hash power away from pools that are approaching the 51% threshold. By migrating their resources to smaller pools, they contribute to the decentralization of the network's hash rate, thereby preventing any single entity from gaining majority control and preserving the integrity of the consensus mechanism.
