Core DAO contributors Rich Rines and Brendon Sedo step down as validators take over

  • —Rines and Sedo departed; no replacements announced
  • —Independent validators already handle block production without disruption
  • —Earlier excess validator rewards triggered an emergency hard fork
  • —Community members question CORE allocations and treasury transparency
Why it matters: The handover reduces the core team's role, but unresolved questions over CORE distribution and treasury transparency could weigh on community trust.
