Polkadot is setting a minimum staking amount of 10,000 DOT for validators

According to Polkadot's announcement, they are proposing to set a minimum staking amount for validators at 10,000 DOT; voting is already underway. The proposal includes optimizing the emission and expense structure using the #Dynamic #Allocation Pool (DAP) mechanism; validators must meet the minimum staking requirement by the end of May. Nominators will no longer bear the risk of slashing and will enjoy a fast unlock period of up to 2 days. Starting mid-June, the protocol will implement budget separation, where incentives for validators and rewards for nominators will be managed separately. By the end of 2026, validator operating costs are expected to gradually shift to fixed fees in stablecoin, with the number of active validators being regulated based on demand.$DOT
