Whitelisting https://polkadot.subsquare.io/referenda/1890 ## What As communicated in the forum post [here](https://forum.polkadot.network/t/polkadot-staking-changes-progress-timeline/17436) , we propose a `MinValidatorBond` (minimum self stake) of 10k DOT to be enforced to secure the network on Polkadot AssetHub. The current value of `MinValidatorBond` is `0`. After the 10k DOT min self-stake is enacted, new validators **must** be compliant with the new requirement. `set_staking_configs` to 10k DOT **does not** kick existing validators but pre-existing under-bonded validators will face significant risk of chilling. This change, and having all active validators comply with the minimum self-stake, is a mandatory pre-requirement before being able to make nominators unslashable and fast-unbondable. Snapshot of validators' current self stake [here](https://dakk.github.io/polkapredict/#polkadot). Full explanation here https://hackmd.io/@sigurpol77/S10g64OJMl
