Learning objectives
- 01Add and remove a validator from an L1
- 02Size a credible validator set
- 03Cost out that set on an annual basis
Guided lab
Change a test L1's validator set and observe the effect on block production.
Independent lab
Build a validator recruitment and compensation plan for a regional chain.
Security angle
Too small a set is capturable; too expensive a set never materialises. Document the real trade-off.

Costed validator plan, defended before the group.
