The results for the very first validator poll are in!

And pleasantly surprising, 861 out of 1400 active human nodes tied their verified Discord accounts and voted, that’s over 60% participation in the very first round. And it’s just the beginning. And we expect more human nodes to participate as we move forward.

Reminder: According to the new validator fee structure, to receive the full $25 validator reward, Human nodes must:
* Achieve 84/84 epochs
* Tie your verified Discord account to your node
* Vote weekly in #validator-polls Discord channel

Those who just complete 84/84 epochs will receive $12 (enough to cover basic cloud costs).

The polls may be simple for now, but they’re the first real step toward Vortex (Humanode DAO).
