Solana’s “retired” validators still vote with 15% of active stake

The finding raises questions about how much influence retired or Foundation-linked validators retain and whether smaller validators can replace Foundation support. Traders should watch for governance or decentralization concerns that could affect confidence in Solana's validator set.
