Meta Pool Validator World Cup 2026: Mexico's Cohort 2 Week 5 Matchup
Meta Pool Validator World Cup 2026: Mexico's Cohort 2 Week 5 Matchup
⚽ Mexico validator showdown
Meta Pool is running a community-driven validator competition called the Validator World Cup 2026. In Cohort 2, Week 5, two Mexican validators are competing for community support:
- frutero.pool.near (backed by likes)
- proyecto-aliento.pool.near (backed by retweets)
The competition uses social engagement (likes, retweets, and comments) to determine which validator advances. This follows similar matchups across multiple cohorts featuring validators from Venezuela, Vietnam, Peru, Ecuador, and the United States.
Previous winners include:
- ttt.poolv1.near (Vietnam, Cohort 1 Week 4)
- staker-rene.pool.near (Mexico, Cohort 2 Week 2)
- blocksentry.pool.near (Venezuela, Cohort 1 Week 2)
- takeshi7.pool.near (US, Cohort 2)
- reengi.pool.near (Mexico, Cohort 1)
The tournament combines validator selection with community participation, using public voting to determine which nodes move forward in the bracket.
