SOL is moving towards decentralization.
According to the new policy, for every new validator added to the Delegation Program, three old ones will be removed if they meet the following criteria:
1) have been delegates from the Solana Foundation for more than 18 months
2) have less than 1,000 SOL in external stake
The change aims to reduce reliance on Foundation delegation, encourage community-supported validators, and maintain a more efficient and decentralized network.
The network is becoming increasingly mature, and the project is becoming more attractive.
