📣 Testnet reset incoming - Let's update the Validator List

Hey team,

Testnet reset incoming later today! We need to start fresh, which is a great opportunity to review the list of nodes that will automatically become Validators after the reset.

We have exported the list of all the current testnet validators - they will automatically be made into Validators following this reset. So, if you already have nodes that are validators on the public testnet, no action needed.

👉 If you need more/new nodes to automatically be made into Validators after the reset, please add them in this form.
