After reaching the 700 validators milestone in Kusama, we are reviewing the metrics from the 600 validators milestone report for further steps, aiming to reach 1000 validators on Kusama.

The full report can be found here.

Recommended Steps:

• A gradual increase in slots is recommended to slowly get closer to 1000 validators on the network, making sure QoS is closely monitored.
• Closely monitor the MinStake/AvgStaked ratio as we increase the numbers of validators.
• Regarding our last suggestion on information access: A series of tutorials have been published to help nominators elect validators efficiently, along with a Validator Resource Center and Ranking Website where nominators can find quantitative and qualitative data about validators’ performance and choose the best nomination set that works for them. Phase 1 of the Ranking is ready and can already be used here - Phase 2 to start soon.
