🔸 Under proposal PIP 70, the minimum self stake for new validators joining the network will be set at 100,000 POL.
🔸 Polygon PoS security relies heavily on validators running reliable infrastructure and committing meaningful stake. This change strengthens network health and security, and aligns validator incentives with the network long term health.
🔸A key point to note is that existing validators and delegators do not need to take any action as this regulation only applies to new entrants.
By raising the entry barrier to 100,000 POL, will Polygon attract more professional operators or will it hinder the decentralization of the network?
