Archway Governance Update - Aug 9, 2024 **Welcome to the bi-weekly Archway Governance Update!** This update includes recent proposals and ongoing discussions within the community. The goal is to keep everyone informed about progress and engaged in the evolution of the network. **Active Forum Discussions** **Validator Set Reduction** This proposal aims to reduce the number of validators in the active set to achieve a more balanced distribution of voting power and enable more sustainable economics (i.e., a decrease in emissions). Community members are discussing the optimal number of validators to balance security and decentralization. Some members emphasize the need for a phased approach to monitor the impact gradually. [Join the discussion here](https://gov.archway.io/t/proposal-reduce-validator-set/656) **Lower Archway Inflation Rate** Phi Labs, Archway core contributors, propose lowering the Archway network’s inflation rate. They propose a target inflation rate of 3% to ensure long-term network sustainability and reduce token volatility.
