 ### Fixed
 
+- Compute the oracle ballot `StandardDeviation` as a stake-weighted variance (weight each squared deviation by the vote's power and divide by total voting power) instead of an unweighted average divided by the vote count, aligning the reward-band width with the stake-weighted median and preventing a group of low-stake validators from inflating the deviation to widen the accepted vote window
 - Close an oracle slashing bypass in the `EndBlocker` where validators were scored against the post-filtered `voteTargets` map: a denom that received votes but was pushed below the vote threshold (e.g. by a coordinated group abstaining) was dropped from the scoring denominator, letting the abstainers avoid miss penalties. Participation is now scored against the configured targets that received votes (passing targets plus below-threshold targets), crediting validators that voted on a below-threshold target while counting abstention on it as a miss; targets that received no votes at all are still excluded so a legitimately unpriceable denom cannot mass-slash the validator set
 - Allow EIP-7702 delegated EOAs to send direct EVM transactions by exempting delegation-designator code from the externally-owned-account-only check in `VerifyIfAccountExists`, so accounts that delegate via `SetCodeTx` can still manage (and revoke) their own delegation without a sponsored transaction
 - Remove the forced minimum 1-unit-per-block reward release in `CalculateReward` and skip (instead of deactivating) sub-unit blocks in the rewards `BeginBlocker`, so the proportional share accumulates and the pool follows the configured schedule independent of block time (previously a 10-year, 1M-unit schedule drained in ~12 days at the 1s target block time and ~28 days at the current ~2.4s rate, regardless of the configured duration)
