TON Mainnet Validation Rules Tightened: Minimum Staking Threshold May Rise to 1 Million TON

Odaily reported that TON has issued an update for mainnet validators, stating that due to new capital entering the validation network, both the minimum and maximum effective staking thresholds required to participate in validation have risen simultaneously. Validators need to promptly check whether their current resource configurations are sufficient to continue participating in validation and, where conditions permit, consolidate their staking positions. Currently, the minimum and maximum staking thresholds for this round of validation are 824,000 TON and 2.425 million TON, respectively. It is expected that these will soon rise further to 1 million TON and 3 million TON. For validators who cannot simultaneously meet the staking requirements for both validation rounds, TON recommends using staking services or configuring a 1-of-2 round validation mode to maximize capital efficiency.
