Over the past months, several validators have stopped validating on Juno.
Currently, only around 70 validators remain active, with 10 empty slots and more shutdowns already announced.
This trend threatens the long-term stability of the network.
Juno’s validator economics are collapsing. At today’s prices and inflation schedule, most validators in the active set earn less than $40/month, and many earn under $15. Several operators have already shut down their nodes. Without action, decentralization will erode further.
