Request to Update Active Validators List (Current Count: 102)

[Nealsen]

Summary

As an active Berachain testnet user who has delegated BGT to validators, I propose maintaining an up-to-date active validators list on GitHub, in addition to the list on the website. This will significantly improve the delegation process and decision-making for users like me.

Details:

The presence of an accurate and updated list of active validators on GitHub is crucial for several reasons:

Improved Decision-Making for Delegation: As a user who delegates BGT, access to the latest information about active validators is essential. This information helps in making informed decisions on whom to delegate, based on their performance, reliability, and contribution to the network.

Consistency Across Platforms: While the website provides a list of validators, having the same updated list on GitHub ensures consistency across platforms. Users who frequent GitHub for updates and insights would benefit from accessing this information in their preferred environment.

Enhanced Transparency and Accessibility: GitHub is recognized for its transparency and ease of access. An updated list here enhances trust and accessibility, allowing users to verify information and track changes over time.

Community Contribution and Feedback: GitHub allows for community contributions and feedback. Users can propose additions, report issues, or suggest improvements regarding validators, fostering a more engaged and collaborative community.

Historical Record and Accountability: GitHub maintains a record of changes, providing a historical view of validator activities and updates. This level of accountability is important for trust and transparency within the network.

Technical Users’ Preference: Many users in the blockchain space prefer technical platforms like GitHub for information. They find GitHub’s format and presentation more aligned with their needs.

### Suggested Action:

I kindly request the Berachain Foundation team to consider maintaining an active, regularly updated validators list on GitHub. This could involve automated sync with the website list or manual updates, as deemed appropriate.

Thank you for considering this enhancement to improve the delegation process and overall user experience in the Berachain ecosystem.
