Two new referenda on Polkadot's OpenGov, #1909 and #1910, propose a series of staking parameter updates designed to optimize the network security model while reducing overall security costs.
Together, these proposals aim to strengthen validator incentives, enable better user experience and reduce overall risk for the nominators with a 48-hour unbonding period.
Ref #1909 builds on the previously approved 10,000 DOT minimum validator self-stake requirement. It introduces rewards for validator self-stake, sets validator commission to 0%, and enables permissionless chilling of under-bonded validators.
Referendum #1910 specifies changes for nominators. It removes nominator slashing and reduces the unbonding period from approximately 28 days to two days for nominators. These changes will be fully activated upon a successful governance vote and once the validator set has fully adapted to the new staking requirements.
The proposals seek to rebalance staking responsibilities between validators and nominators by increasing incentives for validator self-stake while simplifying participation for nominators.

⚠️ Reminder for DOT nominators
With the new issuance curve now live, staking yields have dropped noticeably.
• Previously: around 10% APY
• Now: roughly 5–6% APY (depending on validator commission and stake distribution)
This change comes after Polkadot’s tokenomics reset, which reduced annual DOT issuance to about 55 million DOT.
However, this is before another major change takes effect.
The DAP upgrade, which will decouple validator and nominator rewards, has not been implemented yet.
Once it is live, nominator rewards will come directly from allocations within the DAP, rather than the current staking reward structure.
How exactly those rewards will be distributed and what the final yield will look like is still unclear.
Originally, the idea was to establish an economics fellowship via OpenGov to periodically adjust these parameters. Whether the @Web3foundation economists will propose the first set of parameters remains to be seen.
A simpler way to think about it might be this:
DAP could function somewhat like a “bank” for DOT.
You lock your DOT in a DAP allocation pool, and in return receive yield.
What that yield will be is still unknown,
it could be 5%, 10%, or even higher.
Higher yields would likely encourage more DOT to be locked, while lower yields could lead to more DOT circulating in the market.
For now, this is something the community will need to watch closely as the details evolve.

Your staked $DOT can no longer be slashed.
Polkadot is removing slashing for nominators entirely.
Validators must now hold 10,000 DOT in self-stake - they carry the accountability.

Staking rewards on Polkadot follow a ~24-hour cycle called an "Era," usually split between ~22K nominators.
Yesterday, in Era #2035, an issue with an off-chain election tool limited the nominator set to just 3K, leading to higher individual payouts for those included. The issue is now resolved, and the set has returned to its regular ~22K nominators.

Subscan now tracks each validator’s Commission History — so you can review how their rates changed over time before nominating.
More transparency. Smarter staking decisions.

Reimbursement for the missed staking rewards on @Polkadot is in the works. A concrete plan of action will be announced soon. – at Baar, Schweiz
A fix is in progress for staking rewards on the Polkadot Asset Hub. Until this fix is deployed, the staking rewards are expected to be about 60% less than before. github.com/polkadot-fellows/…

No forks. Zero downtime. On-chain.
The migration is complete.
The numbers speak for themselves 👇
• 1,526,324 accounts migrated
• 1.63B DOT moved
• 53,407 stakers
• 283 MB of data
• All in 8h 39m
The Asset Hub Migration is done.
No forks. No downtime. Pure on-chain execution.
@Polkadot just re-engineered itself mid-flight.
Huge congratulations to the team - this was a colossal success built on months of hard work 👏

PSA to all Polkadot stakers:
With the inclusion of the new release, if your validator doesn't update on time or spams the network your stake can be frozen for that era (no rewards) or even slashed 2% in the case of invalid block approval.
Pick carefully.
