The Klever Blockchain is running stable and has more than enough Community Validator nodes - ~110 in total since 1 year and 4 months. How long does Klever plan to stick to the Genesis nodes? ---

I’d like to see this get attention and an answer from Klever as well. Any klever-node updates are being tested on testnet as they should be for any issues/bugs, but it’s time for community run nodes to do the heavy lifting now on mainnet as it’s been stable for a long while now. I think it’s time… ---

You have a point! Yes, we have plans to remove the Genesys nodes, but we will do so gradually. First, we will have a major update with Klever VM. Until then, we will keep the nodes to help ensure a smooth and secure update for everyone. After the update, we will gradually and systematically shut down the Genesys nodes. Just in time, we will inform y’all. ---

Awesome, thanks for the response! Good to know you have a plan to do so 🙂
