More than 3M $JUNO were allocated via proposals 294 & 313 to support stJUNO as a DeFi-ready liquid staking asset, with the goal of making it useful across the ecosystem — especially on Umee. That vision never materialized. Act now! @dimiandre @vexxvakan @JunoNetwork

@dimiandre @POSTHUMAN_DVS @KleomedesDAO @crosnest_com @StakeandRelax @Allnodes @vexxvakan I hope you are willing to join and discord would be okay to you?

@dimiandre @POSTHUMAN_DVS @KleomedesDAO @crosnest_com @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.

@dimiandre @POSTHUMAN_DVS @KleomedesDAO @crosnest_com The proposal to reduce the current validator set is in the deposit period. https://t.co/xTvt6RpeDc @dimiandre would you be so kind as to fund this proposal? I deposited 1k Juno and 4k more are needed. Next: more discussions with validators, new delegation programme

When you go all in on crypto 🚀

@dimiandre @POSTHUMAN_DVS @KleomedesDAO @polkachu_intern @crosnest_com @dimiandre https://t.co/z8pxUJ66Fa while I have your attention. there are still LP token in the liquidity subdao. looks like stJUNO/JUNO pool tokens. do you know how much that is?

The January cost is 5,793 JUNO (~<$200) and will be updated monthly. During this period, the active set reduction, inflation adjustment, and a new delegation program (Q1) will be implemented to reduce delegations to inactive validators and strengthen Juno long-term.

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

In parallel, I will propose temporarily increasing inflation to 10%. This strengthens validator revenue through commissions and improves staking incentives. Low inflation alone has not stabilized price. Long-term holders must be rewarded, who still believe in juno.

To address this, I will propose limiting the active set to 30 validators. At present, this represents about 85% of voting power, so the impact on decentralization is limited, while redelegations will improve validator sustainability by increased commissions.

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.

For transparancy it would be great, if you could post the relevant transactions in this thread. Furthermore, I'd like to ask you to share the following post with the validators of the network to get their feedback on it, before I go on-chain with it. https://t.co/HDWjQ2kJ5a

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 :)

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.

This temporary support prevents further validator attrition, preserves decentralization, and buys time to design a sustainable economic model. Low prices will not last forever (fingers crossed) — but losing core validators would have long-lasting consequences.

During that period, a longer-term model will be drafted with input from validators and the community. Operators are invited to share real cost structures, so future incentives can be based on actual data instead of estimates.

This proposal targets the core of the active set — the portion where decentralization actually matters. The program costs $564/month, roughly 12,500 JUNO at current prices. It runs for four months: December through March.

Why up to rank 40? Including all validators with sub-$50 revenue would cost nearly $2kmonth, which would almost double our security cost. Validators ranked 41–72 collectively hold only 8.4% of total voting power. Their shutdowns, while unfortunate, do not affect decentralization.

To stabilize the set, a Small Validator Support Program is being proposed. The idea is simple: every validator up to rank 40 receives support to reach $50/month minimum income. If a validator earns $28, they receive $22 in JUNO for the month. If they earn $14, they receive $36.
