Proposal: Foundation Delegation Program to Support Decentralization

Hi Initia team and community,

As a passionate supporter and participant in the Initia ecosystem, I would like to bring attention to a growing concern: the current Validator Power (VP) distribution is overly centralized. This goes against the core values of decentralization and long-term sustainability.

To address this, I strongly suggest that the Initia Foundation initiate a Validator Foundation Delegation Program, similar to what other leading projects like Solana, Celestia, and Starknet have implemented.

Such a program would:

  • Promote decentralization by supporting smaller but high-quality validators
  • Encourage technical contributions, community building, and ecosystem development
  • Build long-term trust and fairness in validator selection
  • Align the Foundation with the values of transparency and openness

It’s crucial that the process be public, fair, and merit-based, with clear guidelines and regular reviews.

I sincerely hope the Initia Foundation considers this proposal seriously and listens to the voice of the community. A robust and inclusive delegation program is a key step toward a healthy and decentralized network.
