Abstract
- A few differently weighted Super Validators are currently camping out on the GSF multitenant Super Validator node instead of running their own Super Validator node..
- A series of SV CIPs recently passed giving low weighted SVs the right to use the GSF multitenant for 6 months, but many of those parties are not experienced operators, and the network wouldn’t benefit materially from forcing them to contract to run an SV node.
- This CIP proposes a 2.5 SV weight threshold above which an SV must begin to operate their own SV or their own SV node, or risk forfeiting their SV weight, or their right to be a Super Validator rights owner.

Motivation
- The GSF multitenant is creating a bit of a free rider problem and it would be beneficial to set some rules around its utilization.
- The Super Validator rights owners have signaled there is a preference to require some Super Validator rights owners to run their own Super Validator nodes over letting in arbitrary operators to the quorum.
- This CIP seeks to set the threshold at which one must run their own Super Validator node.
Proposed Changes
- Any Super Validator node with a Reward Weight greater than 2.5 must operate their own SV within 6 months of crossing the 2.5 Weight threshold or, if already over Weight 2.5, within 6 months of this CIP passing.
