Avalanche to cut validator lockup from 14 days to 48 hours
- —The Helicon upgrade activates on September 22 at 15:00 UTC; AvalancheGo v1.15.0 is required
- —The minimum validation period is cut from 336 to 48 hours
- —The uptime threshold for new periods rises from 80% to 90%
- —Short-term yields will fall by about 1.3% over 90 days
Why it matters: Shorter cycles lower the entry barrier for validators but require more stable operation and offer lower short-term yields.
