+One of Polkadot's primary utilities is providing a high quality security layer for applications built on top of it. To achieve this, Polkadot runs a Nominated Proof-of-Stake system, allowing nominators to vote on who they think are the best validators for Polkadot.
 This system functions best when nominators and validators are active participants in the network. Nominators should consistently evaluate the quality and preferences of validators, and adjust their nominations accordingly.
 Unfortunately, many Polkadot nominators do not play an active role in the NPoS system. For many, they set their nominations, and then seldomly look back at the.
 This can lead to many negative behaviors:
 - Incumbents who received early nominations basically achieve tenure.
 - Validator quality and performance can decrease without recourse.
 - The validator set are not the optimal for Polkadot.
 - New validators have a harder time entering the active set.
 - Validators are able to "sneakily" increase their commission.
