How much stake is required to run a Hyperliquid Mainnet validator?

[m1iktea]

Hi, I am trying to run a validator node on Hyperliquid Mainnet using hl-node.

According to the documentation, the initial_wei for self-delegation is 1000000000000 wei.
I currently have about 10 USDC in my account.

Could you clarify:

How much USDC (or the equivalent amount) is required to register and run a validator node on Mainnet?

Is 1000000000000 wei equivalent to 10,000 USDC, or is the conversion different?

Thanks in advance for your help!
