Request for a validator repository

VT-Cosmos commented 7 months ago

@jaekwon - Suggesting a validator directory repository, in order to make it easier for the validators community to engage directly with one another, to coordinate upcoming tasks, and collaborate more efficiently. For this purpose I put together a draft for the Readme content below.

Name of the repository: Validators Description: Directory for GovNo and AtomOne Validators

The GovNo and AtomOne Validators directory is a space to build a registry of GovNo and AtomOne validators for the community. A comprehensive list of validators, with information on who they are and how to get in touch, will make it easier for the validators community to engage directly with one another, coordinate upcoming tasks, and collaborate more efficiently. This directory is also a great space to discuss validated proposals in regard to operating requirements, upcoming issues, implementation ideas, or proposed solutions.

All validators who have voted NO or NWV on CosmosHub proposal #848 are invited to submit their request for participation through a pull request to this repository.

The Validators directory of the AtomOne repo is an initiative to help serve as a guide to:

make it easier for existing projects, newcomers and community members to identify the approved validators
for validators to coordinate on upcoming tasks and issues related to their operating activity as well as share valuable resource
find development synergies and implementations
make introductions to potential partners
get plugged into the ecosystem

—--------------------------------------

AtomOne Validator Application Template:

Welcome. If you are a validator and would like to submit your application to join the AtomOne GovNo Validator Directory, please use this template to submit a pull request. You can tag it with "validators directory"

The name of your validator
Why you want to become a validator for GovNo and AtomOne
Brief history/ Intro to your validator
Details of your validator (website and contact email)
Team structure, roles, and Discord handles
Link to your main social accounts

In order for the application to be approved by the community, all AtomOne/GovNo Validators:

Must replicate, understand, and validate the genesis distribution. (See https://github.com/atomone-hub/genesis/pull/65#pullrequestreview-1775992431)
Must contribute to the above to prove understanding of it by contributing to the code or creating a PR/PRs
Must adhere to a global decentralization mandate and if required to cooperate in translation for an efficient global reach
Must contribute to build a fair validators distribution structure by building guidelines to include tiers, participation levels, and validators limitations and operating conditions
Must provide Transparency disclosures of associations among validators. (Also see https://github.com/atomone-hub/genesis/issues/75). The AtomOne Community will put together best practices for KYC-ing and approving validator submissions. The conversation can be followed here: https://github.com/atomone-hub/genesis/issues/75

There are 5 validators who weighted vote on 848. GATA DAO is one of those.
https://dev.mintscan.io/cosmos/txs/5092603A846CF9C665057EA3BC65A81394F4974C6364FB6AF565FCA0CE67D9A3?height=18010454

I respect the decision if @jaekwon thinks we shouldn't participate as validator, but I do believe we should be eligible as we are a DAO validator and represented what our community wanted "proportionately".

@jaekwon Why not open to everyone? When it's not a competition (Atom vs AtomOne). Should we have some route for Yes voting val/s that may be are aligned now with AtomOne? Or want to make more informed decision now? Whatever the reason, maybe as a result of definition/redefinition of constitution, true realization/awareness or anything.

@VT-Cosmos a bit more flexibility in template may be? enough only for new comers/ new vals/ willing to become val? Instead of starting with "if you are val" for new potential network partners, also willing to contribute to AtomOne without any history.
