LumiWave Protocol Mainnet Validator Expansion to Support Ecosystem Growth (4 → 12)

Original Proposal Text

## Overview This proposal seeks community approval to bring new validator operators with node operations and incident response capabilities into LumiWave Protocol’s mainnet and expand the active validator set from 4 to 12. By bringing more operators into block validation and node operations, LumiWave Protocol aims to broaden participation in the mainnet and support ecosystem growth through collaboration on infrastructure and network operations. ## Proposal The Foundation will coordinate the expansion. If the proposal passes, the Foundation will register eight new validators in phases and allocate stake to them. The vote will record the community’s decision on-chain. Validator registration and stake allocation will take place after approval. ## Expected Benefits - Ecosystem growth — New validator operators will help validate blocks and run mainnet infrastructure, expanding participation and creating more opportunities for technical collaboration. - Distribution of consensus voting power — Allocating stake to the new validators will help spread consensus voting power across a broader set of validators. - Network resilience — Reducing the concentration of voting power aims to limit the impact of individual validator outages on block finalization. ## Implementation Details - Submission date — November 13, 2026 - Voting period — 2 days - On-chain execution messages — None - Active validators — 4 currently, with a target of 12 - Active validator limit — 100 (`max_validators`) - Current bonded stake — 7,365,398 LWP - Registration method — Register validators in phases using `create-validator` after approval More details: ipfs://
