Aztec: Foundation begins sequencer delegations - 01 Dec 2026
The Aztec Foundation begins sequencer delegations on December 1, 2026, allocating 100 million AZTEC to selected sequencer operators. Each operator receives 5 million or 10 million AZTEC for a six-month cohort. The five largest operators are excluded.The delegation spreads stake beyond the largest operators to support network decentralization and security. The Foundation delegates tokens it already holds, so the allocation does not change token supply. The delegation is governance-neutral.Sized to keep staking yields attractive for the community, and the Foundation doesn't vote with its delegated stake.Applications close Friday, November 20. Selected operators are announced on November 24, and delegations are made on December 1.Apply:
