According to CoinMeta, Solana Foundation member Jacob Creech issued a statement in response to the controversy sparked by adjustments to the validator delegation program (SFDP). Under the new rules, the period during which validators receive support from the foundation's staking has been shortened to 12 months. If the amount of staking that comes from sources outside the foundation's program exceeds 300,000 SOL, those validators will also automatically be removed. Creech stated that SFDP was initially intended to support new validators, maintain the operation of the test network, and encourage early testing of protocol upgrades. However, now that the Solana validator ecosystem has gradually matured, the foundation will allocate more resources to supporting new nodes and operators who make significant contributions to network security and client testing.
