THE PARTICIPANT DOESN'T HAVE TO DISAPPEAR," illustrating the increase of the validator threshold from 100K MAN (current) to 1M MAN (new), while showing smaller participants can transition to "STAKING" as "VALIDATORS" reach the new threshold. It visually reinforces the post's point: while the 1M MAN validator threshold raises the bar, the diagram shows smaller nodes flowing into a green "STAKING" hub rather than being eliminated, supporting the principle that participants adapt their role rather than exit the network. > > "One detail from the August AMA deserves more attention. The validator threshold rises from 100K to 1M MAN. But existing validators below that threshold aren't simply shut down. They can transition into staking. That is a small technical decision with a bigger principle behind" ### Post #2 by @MatrixAINetwork > **Author:** Matrix AI Network ([@MatrixAINetwork](https://x.com/MatrixAINetwork)) > **Metrics:** 13 likes · 4 retweets · 4 comments · 1.0K views > **Posted:** 2026-09-02T13:54:00+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/MatrixAINetwork/status/2095148236550062133](https://x.com/MatrixAINetwork/status/2095148236550062133) > **Visual Note:** A dark-themed digital infographic from MATRIX AI NETWORK titled "THE BAR MOVES." illustrates the validator threshold increase from the current 100K MAN to a new 1M MAN requirement, while showing a secondary "STAKING" pathway labeled "Continued Participation," visually reinforcing that existing validators below the new threshold can transition into staking rather than being eliminated. > > "One detail from the August AMA deserves more attention.
