Wu Blockchain reports that Polkadot tweeted about a major vote on the Polkadot OpenGov network staking architecture. Referendum 1890 proposes requiring Polkadot validators to lock at least 10,000 DOT of their own funds as self-stake. This reform is a mandatory prerequisite for the next major staking upgrade, which includes changes such as nominators no longer bearing slashing risks and reducing the unbonding period from around 28 days to approximately 24–48 hours. If the proposal passes, validators will directly bear slashing risks through higher self-bond exposure, while nominators can continue earning staking rewards without exposing their principal to slashing risks. This reduces participation risks and speeds up exits. https://(wublock123.com)/news/polkadot-opengov-vote-require-validators-min-self-stake-10000-dot-61600
