According to the team, anyone will be able to participate in staking on the blockchain. Validators will require a minimum of 20,000 STRK tokens ($9,610) to operate their nodes. Delegators must hold STRK tokens and will be able to choose a validator to delegate their stakes to.
The team also shared on X that “validators and delegators will be subject to a 21-day unstaking lockup period.”
