The HIP-30v2 Snapshot will include these proposed changes:

- Split 441M ONE tokens annual emission: 75% for staking rewards and 25% for bridge recovery.

- Shut down Shard 2 and Shard 3 of our network.

- Change from 250 to 200 nodes each for Shard 0 and Shard 1.

- Change the minimum validator commission from 5 to 7%.

In the original forum post, the initial option was stated as “[Change the minimum validator commission from 5 to 6.7%](https://talk.harmony.one/t/hip-30v2-change-to-2-shards-split-25-emission-for-recovery/22941).” The 6.7% commission proposal was based on the configuration of 250 nodes in Shard 0 and 250 nodes in Shard 1. In that case, the validator commission would need to be increased from 5% to 6.65% for the validators to receive the same potential staking emissions if they maximize keys after the 25% emission split. The commission was rounded up from 6.65% to 6.7%.

The change from 250 to 200 nodes each for Shard 0 and Shard 1 would allow a validator a maximum of 10 keys per shard or a total of 20 keys for the network. The change means that a validator would go from 13 keys maximum per shard (225 x 6% = 13.5) to 10 keys (180 x 6% = 10.8). Given this configuration, the validator commission would need to be increased to 6.93% in order for the validator to receive the same staking emissions after the 25% emission split. The HIP-30v2 Snapshot will call for 7% minimum validator commission, which is a slight rounded up from 6.93%.
