I don't think I understand how you will accomplish this. From my understanding, if you isolate your nodes from the DeSo network, it will do just that... isolate them. They should be able to fully function (might need to change a little code or variables). But then it wouldn't be in sync with the main network.

I think you would have to have the majority of the nodes (or the majority of the staking nodes) block communication with the core nodes to prove decentralization?

Am I off base or not understanding how the blockchain works?
