Validator Selection - A Phased Approach

The ultimate objective of Definity is to grow the percentage of delegated stake in the Asia-Pacific region. We envision this will take time and investment from operators. To attract delegations from stakers, we need to return a high APY. To achieve this, we need to delegate stake to consistently high-performing validators.

As it stands today, there are no validators consistently ranked within the top 250 — as measured by TVC score — that are also physically located in the Asia-Pacific region.

Thus, we see a phased approach, one that allows us to meet our end objective.

​​

Phase 1

Duration: 6 months

During this phase, we will be taking applications from validators within the top 250 TVC rankings, who will need to provide verifiable evidence that the team operating the Mainnet validator is located within the Asia-Pacific region. Validator location aside, please note that you will need to meet all other criteria laid out in the Staking Strategy.

If your application is approved, and you are included in the stake pool, you will have until the start of 1 August 2025 to prepare and deploy a validator located within the Asia-Pacific region to retain your stake delegation.

​

Phase 2

Duration: 1 August 2025 onwards

From this date onwards, only validators located within the Asia-Pacific region will receive stake delegation from the Definity stake pool, assuming you meet all other criteria as per the Staking Strategy.
