Upcoming changes to the validator fee distribution

Dear human nodes,
As you know, we’ve been experimenting and listening closely to your feedback regarding the validator fee distribution. Today, we’re making another update. One we believe will reward consistency, fairness, and active contribution even more clearly.Here’s what's changing:
- Starting the next cycle, the available reward cap stays the same, but all validators who hit a perfect 84/84 epochs and have done Proof-of-Poll in Humanode Discord will now equally share the total capped rewards. To put it simply: Total Cap / Number of Perfect Validators is your new reward calculation. To see the caps, read the previous update announcement: https://blog.humanode.io/new-rules-for-validator-fees-and-participation/
- For those who continue to go the extra mile through our Validator contribution program and also achieve 84/84 epochs, your monthly reward remains guaranteed at the full fixed rate of $25.
This update reflects your feedback and ensures those who put in the effort to keep their nodes up and running share the benefits equally. And those who put in extra effort through the validator contribution initiative are properly recognized.
To recap on the Validator contribution initiative:
- Select and complete activities that directly drive network transactions or significantly support the Humanode ecosystem.
- Submit clear proof of your contribution in the validator-contributions channel on Humanode Discord.

And again, remember that this change is part of the experimentation, and further changes are anticipated.We encourage every human node to participate and help us shape the system that reflects the true spirit of decentralized decision-making. Thank you, Humanode core
