Solo staker list v0-->v1

We have updated our list of solo-staker associated addresses to include another ~1.1k deposit addresses we identified, after collating all the feedback we received following the STRK airdrop announcement.

You can find the updated list in this repo: https://github.com/rated-network/solo-stakers 

We have updated the heuristics that underlie the model, and done a lot of manual validation work drawing from various datasets available to us (e.g. EL activity patterns, gossip messages). The additional ~1.1k addresses represent an additional 15% to all the addresses that we had previously tagged as “high confidence solo-stakers”.

The updated list still respects the original definition of a solo-staker as outlined in this blog post.

This implies that addresses associated with validators that run on whitelabel providers are still not included. The same stands for validators that have been reported to us by Node Operator entities via the Self Report API. Finally, the list does not include “whales” that appear to run a very large number of validators in professional-looking setups, but with no clear association to any of the known to us operators, whether that be implicit or explicit.

Finally the list still considers validators up to index 500,000 and no further.
