The Open Network states that higher validator staking requirements on mainnet reflect fresh capital in the validation set, with minimum and maximum stake levels expected to rise further soon.
The Open Network said mainnet validator staking thresholds increased as new capital entered the network, with current minimum and maximum stakes at 824,000 TON and 2.425 million TON. TON said those levels are expected to rise to 1 million TON and 3 million TON soon. The network advised affected validators to use staking services or switch to a 1-of-2 validation mode as higher capital requirements reshape validator participation.
