That change replaces the earlier burn-based approach with a permanent on-chain pool that governance can distribute according to network priorities.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The staking system will also change on the same date. Validators will need to lock 10,000 DOT as self-stake, while the minimum validator commission will rise to 10%. At the same time, nominators will become unslashable, and the unbonding period will be reduced from 28 days to 24-48 hours. Those changes will tighten validator requirements while giving other participants faster access to unlocked capital.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In January, Polkadot announced a runtime upgrade to speed up app execution, shorten transaction finality, and simplify development.
