Tomorrow, Dec 30th, Aleph Zero Foundation Validators are set to raise commissions to 5% (from 3.5%). Most community validators like Meadow Capital are set to the minimum, 2%. With decentralization as the goal, AZF encourages $AZERO holders to re-stake with community validators.
As we approach 1 month of validating on the Mainnet, Community Validators have demonstrated incredible reliability. You can see returns here and Meadow’s performance here.
The Azero Foundation has scheduled additional changes to commissions. This is the current schedule:
| Date | Foundation | Community |
|---|---|---|
| Dec 30, 2022 | 5% | 2% |
| Jan 13, 2023 | 6.5% | 3% |
| Jan 27, 2023 | 8% | 4% |
| Feb 10, 2023 | 9.5% | 5% |
| Feb 24, 2023 | 11% | 5% |
| Mar 10, 2023 | 12.5% | 5% |
| Mar 24, 2023 | 14% | 5% |
While we would love for AZERO holders to choose Meadow, there are many great validators. Do your own research and consider switching to maximize returns and support decentralization of the network.
Please refer to our guide for help on how to make the switch!
