TL;DR

• Current Bond Requirement: Validators on the Core blockchain must currently bond 10,000 CORE to participate.
• Proposed Change: Increase the minimum bond requirement to 500,000 CORE to enhance network security.
• Who will be affected: Existing validators will be grandfathered into this raise. However, new validators and all expansions will be subject to the new bond requirement.
• Impact: Strengthens the security and accountability of validators.

Summary

This proposal seeks to increase the validator bond requirement on the Core blockchain from 10,000 CORE to 500,000 CORE. The adjustment is proposed to improve the economic security of Core’s validator network. Existing validators will be grandfathered under the current requirement, but all new expansions and validators must meet the updated bond threshold. This adjustment to the validator bond aims to balance network security, decentralization, and long-term sustainability.

If approved, the bond increase will be implemented shortly following the governance vote.

Background

Core blockchain validators must currently bond 10,000 CORE to operate a node. As the Core blockchain matures and expands, it is recommended that the validator bond be raised to deter malicious activities by validators. A higher bond requirement aligns validators' incentives with network health by increasing the capital at risk.

Rationale

Why Increase the Bond?

• Stronger Network Security: A higher bond increases the financial risk for validators, making malicious activity less attractive as it requires a higher upfront cost.
• Greater Accountability: Validators with more at stake are incentivized to maintain uptime and follow best practices.
• Reputation & Stability: Demonstrates Core’s commitment to security and stability, making the network more attractive for developers and institutional users.

Implementation Details

If approved, the following changes will take effect:

• The minimum validator bond will be raised from 10,000 CORE to 500,000 CORE.
• Existing validators will be grandfathered into the new requirement, meaning they can continue operating under the old requirement but must comply with new rules for any future changes.
• It is essential to note that if an existing validator goes offline and later attempts to rejoin the network, it must comply with the new requirement of a 500,000 CORE validator bond.

Voting Process

Duration: 3 Days

Voting Options:

• Yes – Approve the bond increase from 10,000 to 500,000 CORE.
• No – Keep the current bond requirement of 10,000 CORE.
• Abstain – Choose not to vote.

Deadline for Votes:

03/28, 2025 – Ensuring ample time for community discussion before implementation.

Conclusion

The governance vote will determine the final implementation details, particularly regarding repayment structures and commission rate adjustments.

Raising the validator bond to 500,000 CORE strengthens Core’s security and economic resilience. The governance vote will determine the final implementation details and timeline for the bond adjustment.

提案：提高验证人质押要求

概要

• 当前质押要求：Core 区块链的节点验证者目前需质押 10,000 CORE 才能参与。
• 提议变更：将最低质押要求提高至 500,000 CORE，以增强网络安全性。
• 受影响对象：现有节点验证者可继续遵循旧规则，但新验证者及所有扩展都必须遵守新的质押要求。
• 影响：提高节点验证者安全性与责任性。

提案摘要

本提案建议将 Core 区块链节点验证者的质押要求从 10,000 CORE 提高至 500,000 CORE，以提升验证者网络的经济安全性。现有节点验证者可继续按照当前要求运行，但所有新验证者及扩展必须符合新的质押门槛。本次调整旨在平衡 网络安全、去中心化及长期可持续性。

如果提案通过，质押要求将在治理投票结束后尽快实施。

背景

目前 Core 区块链的节点验证者需要质押 10,000 CORE 来运行节点。随着 Core 网络的成熟和扩展，提高质押要求有助于防范恶意行为。较高的质押要求，因其增加了资本风险，將使节点验证者与网络健康状况保持一致。

提案理由

为什么要提高质押要求？

• 增强网络安全：更高的质押门槛增加了节点验证者的经济风险，使恶意行为的成本更高，不易发生恶意行为。
• 提高责任感：质押金额越大，节点验证者越有动力维持节点在线率，并遵循最佳实践。
• 提升声誉与稳定性：展现 Core 对 安全性和稳定性的承诺，使其更具吸引力，特别是对开发者和机构用户。

执行细节

如果提案通过，将实施以下变更：

• 最低节点验证者质押 从 10,000 CORE 提高至 500,000 CORE。
• 现有节点验证者可继续沿用旧规则，但 新的扩展验证者必须遵守新质押要求。
• 如果现有节点验证者下线，并重新加入网络，则必须遵守新的 500,000 CORE 质押要求。

投票流程

投票时程：3 天

投票选项：

• 赞成 – 同意将质押要求从 10,000 提高至 500,000 CORE。
• 反对 – 保持当前 10,000 CORE 质押要求不变。
• 弃权 – 选择不投票。

投票截止日期：

2025 年 3 月 28 日，确保社区有充足讨论时间。

结论

本次治理投票将决定最终的实施细节，包括偿付结构和佣金率调整。

提高节点验证者质押要求至 500,000 CORE，有助于增强 Core 区块链的 安全性 和 经济韧性，具体执行方案将由治理投票最终确定。
