Insider: More than 30 validators kicked out of Solana Foundation delegation program, most operators are Russian

Citing sources from CoinDesk, over 30 validators were kicked out of the Solana Foundation's delegated program last weekend. Although they are still validators on the network, they are no longer eligible to receive rewards for validating transactions on the Solana blockchain. Another source said that many of the operators were Russian. In addition, a total of 32 operators were kicked out this time, with a total of 1.5 million SOL, accounting for about 0.5% of the planned pledge.

Previously, the Solana Foundation announced that it had removed a group of validator operators from the delegated program because they participated in a sandwich attack on Solana users.
