Threshold
The helixstreet.foundation fully supports this proposal. As a small, independent, self-hosted validator, we believe it will help level the playing field for validators like us with high-performance hardware.
Hey @alexggh, if I'm not mistaken, we have just increased to 400. Do you think we need more data to push another increase?
Polkadot was increased to 400 here, 21 days ago, without any negative impact in the metrics that we've been tracking like finality or parachain block production.
On top of that Kusama as been running for 3 months with 500 validators: https://kusama.subsquare.io/referenda/416, which it is our best datapoint that switching to 500 should be safe.
So, unless you have something specific in mind, I don't think any new significant data will come up by just waiting more.
5000 will better
