Hello all! After some discussion, the council will propose the following initial set of five collators:
- Polkadotters
- Good Karma
- Pathrock Network
- Staking4All
- Staker Space
The primary criteria used for selection was a good reputation in the Centrifuge, Dotsama, and validator communities as well as a high number of era points indicating stable block production. Applicants who applied before the April 1st deadline were given preference as long as they met the primary criteria.
(@Yarosl6 was also an applicant within this deadline, however he has decided to relinquish his spot in the first batch)
A collator onboarding guide will be communicated shortly, which will include details of minimum AIR self bond and prerequisite steps collators must take. For other applicants, Altair will continue to add more collators to the network after this first five so please stay tuned!
