Polkadot OpenGov proposes requiring validators to stake at least 10k DOT.
BlockBeats News, May 25 — Polkadot tweeted that Polkadot OpenGov is currently voting on a major network staking architecture adjustment. Referendum 1890 proposes that Polkadot validators lock at least 10,000 DOT of their own funds as self-stake.
This reform is a mandatory prerequisite for the next major staking upgrade, which includes changes such as nominators no longer bearing the risk of slashing penalties, and the unbonding period being shortened from approximately 28 days to about 24 to 48 hours. If the proposal passes, validators will directly bear the risk of slashing through higher self-bonding exposure, while nominators can continue earning staking rewards without exposing their principal to slashing risk, thereby reducing participation risk and speeding up exit.
