Over the past months, several validators have stopped validating on Juno. Currently, only around 70 validators remain active, with 10 empty slots and more shutdowns already announced. This trend threatens the long-term stability of the network.

@KleomedesDAO @POSTHUMAN_DVS @StakeandRelax @Allnodes @crosnest_com @dimiandre @vexxvakan I'd like to create a group with the reduced validator set and dimi (kintsugi) + marius to discuss a new delegation programm and other things which can be done to help Juno.

To support smaller validators during this transition, a temporary stipend is planned for January–March. Top 25 validators earning less than $50/month in commission will be compensated up to $50 from the community pool. This way they can cover their costs and are likely to stay

Thank you @JunoNetwork community for voting on Prop 371. It passed yesterday and the LP tokens were succesfully sent to @dimiandre @dimiandre could you please withdraw the liquidity from Osmosis, send $JUNO to the community pool and unstake $stJUNO? Thank you in advance :)

Juno’s validator economics are collapsing. At today’s prices and inflation schedule, most validators in the active set earn less than $40/month, and many earn under $15. Several operators have already shut down their nodes. Without action, decentralization will erode further.

A stable validator set is the foundation of network security. Short-term support now is far cheaper — and far safer — than dealing with the long-term effects of validator collapse and centralization later. Proposal coming. Feedback welcome.
