Proposal to Increase Active Validator Set from 180 to 200: Fostering Inclusivity, Enhancing ICS Participation, and Lowering Entry Barriers

Just like the last prop that passed, not a good time to increase the validator set.

It currently makes no sense as most bottom validators already are opt-out.

I don’t see how it brings any benefits to our current situation.

The way I see it, you are just trying to lower the requirements to be validator so that Secure Secrets can be ‘permanently’ in the active set but this won’t help the purposely built dynamic for bottom validators.

IIRC on the past prop, the barrier of entry was 120K ish ATOMS. Since it’s now 80K I don’t see the need to do anything about it.
Makes even less sense when you see that kind of thread https://forum.cosmos.network/t/consumer-chain-on-boarding-and-centralization-chorus-one-research/
