Our "TON Little Bro" has recently attracted quite a few big sponsors. As more wealthy individuals come into the village, this kid's wallet bulges, and he starts to get cocky, immediately announcing the entrance fee to become a "village official" (validation node)! Previously, you could just scrape together some money to pay for tolls at his place, but now? The starting price has jumped straight to 824k coins, with the top-tier at 2.42 million! Even more audacious, he also said: "In a while, I want to raise it to a base of 1 million, with a cap of 3 million!" Wow, this threshold is rising faster than the green onions downstairs! What about retail brothers who don’t have that many coins? The Little Bro of TON rolled his eyes and threw out two options: "Either you guys pool together to do a 'Pinduoduo' (using staking services); or give me a 'one-on-one' (1-of-2 round validation), save some funds, and don’t lock up all your capital!"
