:man_raising_hand: BootNode Validator Application​

BootNode is a relatively new company, but the founder Manual has a long history of supporting xDai. Previously he was the C*O at Protofire and one of the original 4 validators on the xDai chain. The BootNode application highlights the new team and the additional decentralization they will bring. "BootNode aims to bootstrap a self-sustainable, production-grade network and bridge validator."

The proposal is now open for any comments, and a snapshot vote will follow in the coming week.
