## Conversation

### 1 Please provide a brief introduction to StakeNet

1.1 On-chain validator performance history

1.2 Stewards and keepers

1.3 How does StakeNet differ from the way JitoSol stakers and Jito delegates today?

### 2 What was the inspiration to build StakeNet and where did it come from?

2.1 What improvements to staking on Solana is StakeNet intended to provide?

2.2 How can StakeNet help improve Solana stake decentralization?

### 3 StakeNet components

3.1 On-chain validator performance history

3.1.1 Why is it important to have this information on-chain?

3.1.2 Why hadn't this been done before?

3.1.3 What were some of the challenges to get this info on chain and how were they overcome?

3.1.4 What are some of the use cases you envision for this data?

3.1.5 How can this data be accessed?

3.2 Stewards and keepers)

3.2.1 What does each do?

3.2.2 Who needs to or would run these and why?

3.2.3 Will the operators who run them be compensated and how?

### 4 Current state and deployment milestones

4.1 What's the current state of StakeNet's deployment, e.g. validator performance data is on-chain, what else is active?

4.2 What are StakeNet's key deployment milestones?

4.3 How do you define "timeless", what benefits and risks are implied by StakeNet being "timeless"?

### 5 How to get involved

5.1 How does StakeNet intersect with the Jito token governance process, if at all?

5.2 How can people interested in helping get involved, e.g. contribute the staking algorithm, help develop the economics, run keepers, etc.

(The only answer not permitted is "Jump into our Discord", at least until more specific options are suggested 😇)
