After the First Keyper Selection Process by the Shutter protoDAO members, 13 Keypers were selected for the first Keyper set.
Most of these nodes are now online, and operations are running smoothly. More than the threshold are participating, and in the future, the Keypers will begin to secure the shielded votes on Snapshot.
The process for submitting a proposal to become a Keyper is ongoing, so if you are interested in becoming a Keyper, now is a great time to submit your proposal !
We are looking to expand the number of Keypers and will schedule the second Keyper Selection Process for some time this year.
