Overview
The Validator Committee is responsible for block proposing during each epoch. The current number of validators in the Committee is 35 at the moment.
Motivation
There are 35 validators will be elected during each epoch to participate in block signing. With the MAPO ecosystem getting bigger, more valuable and strong partners would like to join as validators to support the ecosystem’s growth. Hence, the team is proposing to add more validators to the committee during the election. In order to satisfy MAPO security standards, the new MGP-0005 is going to add 5 spots for new validators to join the consensus process.
Specification
The parameter involved with the change is
struct ElectableValidators {
uint256 min;
uint256 max;
}
The function that set the change is
function setElectableValidators(uint256 min, uint256 max) public onlyOwner returns (bool) {
require(0 < min, "Minimum electable validators cannot be zero");
require(min <= max, "Maximum electable validators cannot be smaller than minimum");
require(
min != electableValidators.min || max != electableValidators.max,
"Electable validators not changed"
);
electableValidators = ElectableValidators(min, max);
emit ElectableValidatorsSet(min, max);
return true;
}
The proposed change to the function is
min = 1;
max = 40;
which means that there are 40 validators elected during an epoch.
Implementation
The modification of the validator committee number will be in
