**Report Author** : Toufeeq from the Avail Technical Committee [5CoVaWrZnaV3BSeUJCA8Ca3SPMJDtjT1zPvZkzovkxJU7dkr] **Change Executed** : Changes will be applied at block #2,329,375 **Technical Committee Consensus** : 4/7 signers [Subscan | Aggregate Substrate ecological network high-precision Web3 explorer](https://avail.subscan.io/tech/36?tab=votes) **Introduction:** This report aims to provide transparency to the Avail community regarding both upcoming and executed network changes. The Avail Technical Committee (TC) has approved a runtime upgrade on Avail Mainnet to decrease the **ideal\_stake** to 50% from the current 75%. After a detailed review of the upgrade’s effectiveness, impact, and security, the TC reached a majority consensus (4/7) to proceed with the changes. **Proposed / Executed Changes:** The proposal to increase the **ideal\_stake** to 50% was introduced and discussed in the community through [AIP 8](https://forum.availproject.org/t/aip-8-change-ideal-staking-ratio-to-50-and-update-to-foundation-delegation-commission-policy/1742). **Code Modifications:** For those interested, you can review the necessary code modifications in the following PR: - [PR1](https://github.com/availproject/avail/pull/793) **Potential Merits to the Network:** The change to the **ideal\_stake** parameter is applied via a runtime upgrade and does not affect the consensus mechanism or validator operations. The network will continue to function as intended, with no disruptions for participants. This upgrade ensures validator operator sustainability and ensures a well-incentivised validator set as the network continues to grow. If you require any additional resources or information, please feel free to drop comments. Thank you. ---

We welcome the decision to adjust ideal\_stake to 50%. This change aligns well with Avail’s goal of fostering a decentralized and sustainable validator ecosystem. By reducing stake concentration pressure, it allows committed validators who actively contribute to the network and community to remain competitive and sustainable over the long term. We support the proposal and appreciate it. ---

I confirm support of the update. Reducing ideal\_stake to 50% is a logical step to improve decentralization and accessibility of the active set.
