# suix\_getCommitteeInfo{deprecated} - Sui

This method returns the committee information for a specified epoch on the SUI network. The committee consists of validators who participate in consensus for that epoch, along with their voting power (stake weight). This is useful for understanding network decentralization and validator distribution.
