TON Mainnet Validation Rules Tightened: Minimum Staking Threshold May Rise to 1 Million TON
TON has released an update for mainnet validators indicating that due to new capital entering the validation network, both the minimum and maximum effective staking thresholds required for participation have increased. Validators are urged to promptly check whether their current resource allocation is sufficient to continue participating in validation and to consolidate their staking positions if conditions allow. Currently, the minimum and maximum staking thresholds for this round of validation are 824,000 TON and 2,425,000 TON, respectively, and they are expected to rise further to 1 million TON and 3 million TON soon. For validators unable to meet the dual-round staking requirements simultaneously, TON recommends using staking services or configuring a 1-of-2 round validation mode to maximize capital efficiency.
