Continuing the discussion from [xGov][Beta] xGov Guide 2025 : [image] [xGov][Beta] xGov Guide 2025 Voting power is required to vote on proposals, and it is accumulated by wallets securing the network by participating in consensus, where one block produced equals one vote. I’d like to ask if I …

Given the current situation, it is necessary to operate a node. The only exception is if you are delegating through Valar, in which case you should receive voting tickets even if you are not operating a node yourself. However, those who are delegating likely hold less than 30,000 ALGO. Considering …

[image] aper_nft: However, those who are delegating likely hold less than 30,000 ALGO. Considering that registering an account to become an xGov voter requires 50 ALGO, it is expected that the majority of people delegating through Valar (excluding CEX addresses) will also not participate. You…

[image] splotchy1735: You think they won’t participate (I mean people who are delegating through Valar) because they wouldn’t like to pay 50Algo fee? At least from what I have observed among Japanese users, I think so. Those who choose the delegation option often have a latent desire to earn …

I see, that’s good point. I think you’re right. I know that there are only 297 accounts who have nodes, then we will have just ~300 governors on xGov platform and 11 (+2) people as xGov Council? Maybe it’s good, maybe it’s not. It’s nice to think about that I’m in this small group of people who wil…

Weren’t there close to 2,000 accounts running nodes? Even if there are 2,000, I don’t think many people will actually spend 50 ALGO and their time to participate without rewards, so I expect the number of xGov voters to be quite low. With so few participants, I think the direction will be heavily …

Yeah, we are close to 2k accounts (what Nodely shows), I’ve checked the page with PoP, there are only 300. I misunderstood. I don’t know what could be named as begining, I think not from the very begining. I’m participating in GP from 8th period (included), I was participating in xGov beta test in …

I have applied to be on the xGov Council, but I believe it is dangerous to view the xGov Council as a safeguard. This is because the role only has the authority to check whether proposals meet the minimum requirements, and can only reject proposals that fail to meet those minimum conditions—for exa…

[image] aper_nft: The xGov Council can provide reviews on proposals, but based on m Agree on 100%! That sounds not good, in simple words. Am I right, that you have rights (as xGov Council) only to check weather or not proposals meet something like user terms / open source terms / etc?

[image] splotchy1735: Agree on 100%! That sounds not good, in simple words. Am I right, that you have rights (as xGov Council) only to check weather or not proposals meet something like user terms / open source terms / etc? Yes, as far as I understand, that is correct. Of course, since I am …

one needs the minimum stake on Valar, but not on Reti
