The Validator Pools on Stader have gotten a major upgrade.

This change has been designed to improve your staking experience and help decentralization.

Check out the new validators joining Stader: 👇

At Stader, we used to have 13 Validators in 3 Pools.

This number is going up to 20 now.

- Blue Chip validator pool goes from 5 to 10 validators.

- Community validator pool goes from 5 to 7 validators.

- Airdrops Plus remains at 3.

This is the new criteria to join our pools:

New validators need to meet the below criteria from Nov 22nd to Dec 22nd:

- Uptime > 99.85% (averaged over 30 days)

- No slashing in the past three months

This is to ensure the safety of your funds.

Next:

We are not only adding more validators.

We are actually planning to add more pools by this week.

For example:

We’re soon going to add a ‘Small Validators’ pool.

Nodes with low voting power, yet a good performance history deserve more attention.
