 ## What is a delegator?
 
-People that cannot or do not want to operate [validator nodes](../validators/overview.md) can still participate in the staking process as delegators. Indeed, validators are not chosen based on their self-delegated stake but based on their total stake, which is the sum of their self-delegated stake and of the stake that is delegated to them. This is an important property, as it makes delegators a safeguard against validators that exhibit bad behavior. If a validator misbehaves, their delegators will move their Atoms away from them, thereby reducing their stake. Eventually, if a validator's stake falls under the top 175 addresses with highest stake, they will exit the validator set.

 **Delegators share the revenue of their validators, but they also share the risks.** In terms of revenue, validators and delegators differ in that validators can apply a commission on the revenue that goes to their delegator before it is distributed. This commission is known to delegators beforehand and can only change according to predefined constraints (see [section](#choosing-a-validator) below). In terms of risk, delegators' Atoms can be slashed if their validator misbehaves. For more, see [Risks](#risks) section.

 ## Why create a parameter change proposal?
-Parameters are what govern many aspects of the chain's behaviour. As circumstances and attitudes change, sometimes you might want to change a parameter to bring the chain's behaviour in line with community opinion. For example, the Cosmos Hub launched with 100 active validators and there have been 3 proposals to date that have increased the `MaxValidators` parameter. At the time of writing, the active set contains 175 validators.

 The Cosmos Hub has been viewed as a slow-moving, highly secure chain and that is reflected in some of its other parameters, such as a 21 day unbonding period and 14 day voting period. These are quite long compared to other chains in the Cosmos Ecosystem

 ### Validator set limits
 
-The current Cosmos Hub has a limit of 175 validators. This limit is imposed on validators who are interested in producing blocks as part of a validator set of the Cosmos Hub itself. This limits the number of eligible validators for Consumer Chains to the same top 175 Cosmos Hub participants. However, just because a validator doesn't have enough staked ATOM to be eligible to validate on the Cosmos Hub, doesn't mean that they shouldn't qualify to validate on another Consumer Chain.

-Interchain Security should increase the diversity of the validator ecosystem by lowering the barrier to running a profitable validator business. This will go far in creating a healthy ecosystem of diverse validators that will result in anti-fragile and robustly operated networks. In order to make it possible for the top 175 validators to remain eligible as block producers for the Cosmos Hub while increasing the number of eligible validators for Consumer Chains, the Staking Module needs to stop forcing validators to undelegate when they leave the top set of 175 validators. This will result in a longer list of validators with ATOM delegations that are not participating in block production on the Provider Chain (Cosmos Hub). These extra validators will however be eligible to produce blocks on Consumer Chains and use their delegated ATOMs to earn rewards on the Consumer Chains as well as risk their Provider Chain ATOMs to slashable events should they misbehave on Consumer Chains.

 The [Cosmos Hub](../README.md) is based on [Tendermint](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/tree/master/docs/introduction) that relies on a set of validators that are responsible for committing new blocks in the blockchain. These validators participate in the consensus protocol by broadcasting votes that contain cryptographic signatures signed by each validator's private key.
 
-Validator candidates can bond their own ATOM and have ATOM ["delegated"](../delegators/delegator-guide-cli.md), or staked, to them by token holders. The Cosmos Hub has [175 validators](https://www.mintscan.io/cosmos/proposals/66), but over time the number of validators can be increased with governance proposals. The validators are determined by the total number of ATOM tokens delegated to them — the top 175 validator candidates with the most voting power are the current Cosmos validators.

 Validators and their delegators earn ATOM as block provisions and tokens as transaction fees through execution of the Tendermint consensus protocol. Note that validators can set a commission percentage on the fees their delegators receive as additional incentive. You can find an overview of all current validators and their voting power on [Mintscan](https://www.mintscan.io/cosmos/validators).

 After a validator is created, ATOM holders can delegate ATOM to them, effectively adding stake to the validator's pool. The total stake of an address is the combination of ATOM bonded by delegators and ATOM self-bonded by the validator.
 
-From all validator candidates that signaled themselves, the 175 validators with the most total stake are the designated **validators**. If a validator's total stake falls below the top 175, then that validator loses its validator privileges. The validator cannot participate in consensus or generate rewards until the stake is high enough to be in the top 175. Over time, the maximum number of validators may be increased via on-chain governance proposal.
