ParameterValueWhat it meansHow it changes
Validator capacity
max_validators
Upper limit on active and probationary validators combined; governance can set it between 4 and 101.
Governance-adjustableconsensus channel
Code ceiling
MAX_VALIDATORS_HARD
The highest value the capacity can reach; going above it needs a software upgrade.

Minimum validator bond
min_validator_stake_zerenya · min_validator_stake
5.29 g gold
0.17 oz · today 620.1 ZAGROS
The amount to lock to become a validator is fixed in gold terms; its ZAGROS amount changes with the pool ratio.
Governance-adjustableeconomic channel
Bond tolerance
stake_hysteresis_bps
A validator in the set stays qualified unless its bond falls this far below the threshold at the time it registered; if it falls further, it drops to probation.

Application approval fee
application_fee_zerenya
155.52 mg gold
0.005 oz · today ≈ 18.24 ZAGROS
While founder authority lasts, charged to the candidate when a validator application is approved by multisig; it goes to the Hevsel distribution.
Governance-adjustableeconomic channel
Probation period
probation_epochs
A validator entering probation (newly approved, given a liveness penalty, or with its bond below the threshold) waits at least this many epochs; it then becomes Active if its participation clears the threshold and its bond is sufficient.
Governance-adjustableconsensus channel
Cap per provider
max_per_provider
At most this many validators can use the same hosting provider (approved, probationary and active ones count).
Governance-adjustableconsensus channel
Cap per region
max_per_region
At most this many validators can be in the same region (approved, probationary and active ones count).
Governance-adjustableconsensus channel
Cap per operator
max_per_operator
One operator can run at most this many validators.
Governance-adjustableconsensus channel
Bond lock
bond_lock_seconds
The bond of a validator that exits, is removed or unstakes stays locked this long; during this time it can still be slashed with double-sign evidence.
Governance-adjustableconsensus channel
Re-registration ban after slashing
jail_duration_seconds
A validator whose bond was slashed cannot register again for this long.
Fixed in code
Evidence validity window
evidence_max_age_epochs
Double-sign evidence can be reported at most this far back.
Governance-adjustableconsensus channel
Reporter reward
reporter_reward_cap_bps
This share of a bond confiscated for double-signing goes to the reporter (locked for 48 hours); the rest goes to Hevsel.
Governance-adjustableeconomic channel
False declaration slash
false_declaration_slash_bps
Reserved field: no rule reads this value today; it can be voted on but has no effect.
