🗳️ Active Proposal: Establishment of a Validator Support Grant Framework (Re-submitted)
This governance vote isn’t about funding — it’s about officially recognizing validator support as a valid category for future community grants.
🔹Why 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.
✅ What it DOES:
• Adds validator infrastructure, tools, education & diversity initiatives as eligible grant categories
• Creates a clear governance pathway for future proposals
❌ What it DOESN’T:
• Request any specific funds now
• Pick winners or create permanent budgets
Voting question:
Should XAO DAO recognize validator support as an eligible grant category?
