I'm curious to know, what is the minimum staking requirement for the NEAR Protocol? As a user looking to get involved in staking, it's important for me to understand the minimum amount of NEAR tokens I need to stake in order to participate. Is the minimum staking amount set by the protocol itself, or is it determined by validators? Additionally, what are the potential benefits and risks associated with staking a small amount of NEAR tokens compared to a larger amount?

The determination of this threshold is intimately tied to the staking activity within the NEAR ecosystem. As more users stake their tokens, the network automatically recalibrates the minimum requirement to maintain a balance.

The objective behind this mechanism is to ensure that only the most committed and financially invested validators are part of the active set. This not only promotes the security of the network but also incentivizes responsible staking practices.

By requiring validators to stake a significant amount of NEAR, the network disincentivizes malicious behavior and promotes a healthy competitive landscape among validators.

The current threshold of 20,506 NEAR has been set such that validators meeting this criterion belong to the top 100 largest stakeholders. This ranking serves as a benchmark for validators to strive for and maintain.

The active set minimum requirement for NEAR validators is currently set at 20,506 NEAR tokens. This figure, however, is not static and undergoes adjustments based on the dynamics of the network.
