StarkWare plans to significantly reduce the number of validators in its STRK Delegation Program, raising the cap on a single delegate to 20 million.
According to a proposal released by StarkWare, as reported by Foresight News , StarkWare plans to make significant adjustments to its STRK delegation program, reducing the number of validators from over 130 to a maximum of 31, shifting its strategy from "expanding coverage" to "deepening cooperation." The third round of delegation is divided into two channels: Channel A has a maximum of 26 slots, with each validator receiving at least 15 million STRK delegated, up to a maximum of 20 million. Selection criteria include a 99% mainnet uptime over the past three months and meeting one of the following criteria: ranking among the top 8 in STRK staking (excluding StarkWare and the Starknet Foundation), a leading cross-chain infrastructure provider (up to 8 additional slots), or an ecosystem application developer with an average monthly network fee payment of at least $2,000 over the past three months (up to 10 additional slots). Channel B has a maximum of 5 slots, with each validator receiving 5 million STRK, open to community members actively participating in decentralized discussions, requiring a 99% uptime on mainnet and testnet. The new rules are expected to take effect in five weeks, and community feedback is currently open for two weeks.
