After a detailed review of the upgrade’s effectiveness, impact, and security, the TC reached a majority consensus (5/7) to proceed with the changes.
Proposed / Executed Changes:
The proposal to increase the ideal_stake to 75% was introduced and discussed in the community through AIP 12. This upgrade also increases the MaxBlockCols limit to 1024, which allows governance to increase the block size up to 32 MB.

Potential Merits to the Network:
