The Terra Classic community recently voted on a significant proposal aiming to expand support for validators. This proposal also aims to enhance chain security and decentralization.
The Terra Luna Classic community is voting on another major proposal to prevent the exodus of validators, particularly small ones. This proposal aims to enhance chain security and decentralization by increasing the number of validators, thereby improving network security.
Terra Luna Classic: Proposal for 5% Validator Commission
The Terra Luna Classic community is currently voting on Proposal 12089, which seeks to reintroduce a 5% commission for validators. This commission had been restricted following the introduction of the dynamic commission (DynComm) last year. Importantly, this proposed parameter change does not impact the DynComm Module.
The rationale behind the proposal is to address the need for reimplementation of a minimum fee to support the active set of validators and facilitate ongoing development efforts. The proposal highlights the loss of several validators over the past five months, with some struggling to cover the costs of running their nodes. This situation is anticipated to worsen as delegators withdraw their stake during bullish market phases to capitalize on profits.
Furthermore, the proposal cites examples of validators such as PFC, TMOM, and Lux Blockchain that have ceased operations, along with others nearing closure due to financial challenges. Additionally, it notes instances where validators have shut down without notifying their delegators or failing to upgrade to maintain their position in the active set, resulting in a substantial amount of staked LUNC being jailed.
If passed, the proposal is expected to offer benefits to delegates and mitigate the risk of Sybil Attacks. Currently, the proposal has garnered 81% of votes in favor, with 10 out of 11 validators supporting it. Notable validators, including Interstellar Lounge, StakeBin, and LUNC Development Fund, have voted in favor of the proposal.
