TON mainnet verification rules tighten: minimum staking threshold may rise to 1 million TON.

TON has released an update for mainnet validators stating that due to new capital entering the validator network, both the minimum and maximum effective staking thresholds for participating in validator validation have increased. Validators should promptly check whether their current resource allocation is sufficient to continue participating in validator validation and, if conditions permit, consolidate their staking positions. Currently, the minimum and maximum staking thresholds for this round of validation are 824,000 TON and 2,425,000 TON, respectively, and are expected to further increase to 1 million TON and 3 million TON in the near future. For validators who cannot simultaneously meet the staking requirements for both rounds of validation, TON recommends using staking services or configuring a 1-of-2 round validation model to maximize capital utilization efficiency.
