Prop 136: CONX Ecosystem Sustainability – Validator Settlement 2.2 & Infrastructure Support
1. Background and Purpose
Following the approval and implementation of Proposal #97, "Validator Settlement 2.1 – APR Boosting," the CONX ecosystem has continued its efforts to support validator operations and encourage staking participation.
To maintain a sustainable staking environment and ensure the continued operation of essential ecosystem infrastructure, we propose allocating an additional budget for the second year of the Validator Settlement 2.1 program, along with annual support for CONX Explorer and Keplr infrastructure.
