According to CoinMeta, Jacob Creech, the Technical Vice President of the Solana Foundation, stated that the foundation has made adjustments to the delegation program (SFDP). The participation period for validators has been set to 12 months, and once 300,000 SOL are staked, they will automatically graduate. The maximum number of validators is set at 100, and participants are required to operate their own validator nodes. Creech pointed out that as the Solana ecosystem expands, the existing mechanism is struggling to meet the needs of the network. Therefore, the foundation will shift to a more proactive and flexible delegation mechanism, with a focus on supporting network health and ecosystem contributors. SFDP will continue to support new validators, and the foundation will also reward validators who contribute to network health in other ways. Currently, more than 100 validators have applied to continue receiving support.
