TON Mainnet validation rules tighten: the minimum staking threshold may be raised to 1 million TON tokens
Golden Finance reports that TON has issued an update to mainnet validators indicating that due to the influx of new capital entering the validation network, the minimum and maximum effective staking thresholds required for participation have risen in tandem. Validators are advised to promptly review whether their current resource allocation is sufficient to continue participating in validation and, if conditions permit, to consolidate staking positions. Currently, the minimum and maximum staking thresholds for this round of validation are 824k TON and 2.42M TON, respectively, and are expected to be further increased soon to 1M TON and 3M TON. For validators unable to meet the staking requirements for both validation rounds simultaneously, TON recommends using staking services or configuring a 1-of-2 round validation mode to maximize capital efficiency.
