Overview
The Validator Committee is responsible for block proposing during each epoch. The current number of validators in Committee is 30 at the moment.
Motivation
Since there are more and more validators joining to the ecosystem, more chances and spots should be opened for new validators in every epoch.
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;
}
solidity
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
