Following up on [this idea](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/post/283), I am proposing an external motion to be voted by the Council and by the community after. **The motion aims to schedule a gradual increase in the number of validators: 1 slot per day (14,400 blocks) for 100 days. **

We aim for and increase of 100 validators to be able to review metrics after completion. This mechanism can also be canceled, and at that moment the community will be able review network metrics. The proposal aims to avoid an abrupt increase in the number of validators in the network and follows the recommendation of the parachains team as noted [**here**](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/post/263).
