Solana Foundation changes the rules: for each new validator — minus three 'dependents'

🧂 Solana Foundation implements a new policy under the Delegation Program (SFDP) to strengthen the decentralization of the network. This was reported by SolanaFloor.

📌 The essence of the changes: For each new validator added to SFDP, three will be removed who:

🔴have participated in the program for 18+ months

🔴have <1000 SOL external stake (outside of foundation support)

🎯The goal of the initiative:

1️⃣ Reduce the number of validators relying solely on the foundation's stake

2️⃣ Encourage those who develop external activity and community support

3️⃣ Strengthen the network, autonomy, and resilience of Solana

📊 According to Blockworks:

1️⃣ Currently, there are 1224 active validators in the network

2️⃣ The share of delegated foundation is 10.6% of the total stake (in March 2024)

3️⃣ For comparison: 3 years ago it exceeded 22%
