I have examined the list of validators that you have added, their involvement in the community, their participation in proposal voting, and I cannot understand why BlockDaemon is included and StableLab is not.

I suggest removing any political aspect and simply evaluating both validators in accordance with the [post](https://dydx.forum/t/a-take-on-good-practices-for-dydx-chain-validators-and-stakers/978)from the Foundation to which you refer.
