Elixir is excited to announce the institutional participants in the genesis validator set for phase I of mainnet. All of these validators have made significant contributions to date through providing suggestions and feedback, and have been instrumental to improving the speed and the resiliency of the network. The Elixir Foundation is excited to collaborate with these teams on the ongoing growth and governance of the network.

Elixir will also shortly announce a Foundation Delegation Program, committing to delegate most of its voting power and staking rewards to smaller validators and creating an incentive for smaller validators to participate in consensus. Independent validators with high performance scores (factoring in uptime, latency, etc) will be prioritized to earn foundation delegation.
