The participation condition is to stake no less than 100,000 OP to the PolicyEngine Staking contract.The experiment will be conducted in two phases: the first phase (Week 1) will use FIFO (first in, first out) sorting, and exceeding the minimum staking amount will not affect priority; the second phase (Weeks 2-4) will change to a priority Gas multiplier mechanism weighted by staking duration, where the longer the staking time, the higher the priority.The transaction sorting rules for users who do not participate in the experiment will remain unchanged, and the PGA mechanism will continue to operate as usual.

Polkadot posted on X that OpenGov is voting on significant changes to the network staking architecture. Referendum 1890 proposes that validators on Polkadot must lock at least 10,000 DOT as self-staking.This reform is a mandatory prerequisite for the next phase of staking upgrades, which include immunity from slashing for nominators and quick unbonding (approximately 24-48 hours instead of 28 days). The logic is to allow validators to absorb slashing risks directly through significant self-staking exposure, while nominators can continue to earn staking rewards without exposing their principal. If passed, Polkadot staking will eliminate two major barriers to participation, thereby reducing the risk for nominators and shortening exit times.
