These are great suggestions @Thylacine! Here are my thoughts:
- This introduces no extra work, and we’ve changed the count via governance in the past so it seems low risk and thus low effort.
- This seems even less risky, as we’ve also made this change via governance. If we were to do this, I would suggest increasing the validator group size to 7 or 10 so the folks that want to stick around, have the option to try to earn more revenue.
- I don’t think this would work unless we also want to lower the staking rewards for people who have locked and staked CELO. These rewards are proportional to the validator scores.
