<p>The Fantom blockchain network has lately experienced a significant change in its staking system to achieve lesser decentralization. The Fantom Foundation reduced the validator staking demand from 500,000 FTM to 50,000 FTM commemoratives on January 15.</p>
<p>This reduction came as a result of a governance vote. The Foundation stated that having more validators is pivotal for any decentralized network. The addition of further validators also makes it more difficult for vicious users to launch an attack.</p>
<p>In addition, with more validators to choose from, deals will be reused by a validator much faster. The Foundation believes that having more validators won’t decelerate down the network.</p>
<p>Smaller validators who can now participate with just 50,000 FTM tokens will play a vital role in the ecosystem. However, this reduced amount is still a significant investment at current token prices, equating to approximately $19,500. Previously, validators had to invest ten times that amount to participate.</p>
<p>The power of a validator to confirm transactions is proportional to their stake amount and not the number of validators they run. This has been noted by the Foundation.</p>
