Sei are planning to increase the active validator set to 50 nodes.

All validators are suggested to run optimization noscript and restart their seid process

wget -qO optimize-configs.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sei-protocol/testnet/main/sei-testnet-2/optimize-configs.sh
sudo chmod +x optimize-configs.sh && ./optimize-configs.sh
sudo systemctl restart seid

Note that this noscript significantly lowers conesnsus times, so it is ok to miss a few blocks here and there as long as you're not consistently missing blocks.
