Polkadot OpenGov proposes requiring validators to stake at least 10k DOT.

Golden Finance reports that on May 25th, Polkadot posted on X platform stating that OpenGov is conducting a vote on major changes to the network staking architecture. Proposal 1890 requires validators on Polkadot to lock at least 10k DOT as self-stake. This reform is a mandatory prerequisite for the next phase of staking upgrades, which include exempting nominators from penalties and enabling fast unbonding (approximately 24-48 hours instead of 28 days). The logic is to allow validators to directly absorb penalty risks through significant self-collateral exposure, while nominators can continue earning staking rewards without exposing their principal. If approved, Polkadot staking will eliminate two major barriers to participation, thereby reducing nominators' risks and shortening exit times.
