π³οΈ Active Proposal: Establishment of a Validator Support Grant Framework (Re-submitted)
This governance vote isnβt about funding β itβs about officially recognizing validator support as a valid category for future community grants.
πΉWhy it matters:
XRPL runs on independent validators for security, consensus & decentralization. Many operate at a loss. A structured grant path helps cover infra costs, attract new validators, boost geographic diversity & strengthen the network long-term.
β
What it DOES:
β’ Adds validator infrastructure, tools, education & diversity initiatives as eligible grant categories
β’ Creates a clear governance pathway for future proposals
β What it DOESNβT:
β’ Request any specific funds now
β’ Pick winners or create permanent budgets
Voting question:
Should XAO DAO recognize validator support as an eligible grant category?
