ChainCatcher report, according to SolanaFloor, Layer 33, a group composed of independent Solana validators, has called for a pause on the removal of validators under the new rules of the Solana Foundation Delegation Program (SFDP). The new rules periodically remove existing members in weekly batches and limit participation to 12 months, after which validators lose staking support from the program. The group warned that the program’s cap of 100 validators and 12-month term “undermines decentralization,” displacing experienced independent operators and concentrating staking power in the hands of large validators.

Summary
Layer 33, an independent validator node on Solana, has called for a pause on validator removals under the Solana Foundation Delegation Program’s new rules. The updated policy removes existing members weekly and limits participation to 12 months. The group argues this could centralize staking power and undermine network decentralization. On-chain data indicates that large validators are gaining increased influence under the current framework.
