Critical for Verkle tree transition; currently paused due to specification concerns.

How to Interpret These Results

This is sentiment, not governance. Results reflect what verified validator operators think about this proposal, not whether it will or should be implemented.

This is sentiment, not readiness. A "Yes" signal means support for the proposal — it does not indicate operational readiness, completed testing, or resolved blockers.

Participation matters. Results with low participation (% network stake) or few unique participants may not represent broader validator sentiment.
