NOTE: The previous props #1012 and #1013 contained an error that would cause execution of the change to fail. This is the replacement.
SUMMARY
Stride moves from ICS Top-N (95%) to an opt-in PoA-style model with 7 equal-weight validators, and control of ICS config shifts from Hub governance to a Stride Association multisig. Fees will pay those 7 validators directly.
Why
- ICS is being sunset (planned 2026) and doesn’t cover validator costs.
- Current flow sends revenue to stakers; validator commissions are negligible.
