How do you feel about becoming a staked validator on the Unichain, as described in the white paper (https://docs.unichain.org/whitepaper.pdf), while $UNI is arguably still affordable?

For the longest time, my intent was only to solo stake ETH on mainnet, but I'm thinking $UNI staking might serve as a hedge in case the "fat protocol" thesis doesn't truly pan out and the value accrues disproportionately to app-centered L2s, at least until the post-rollup-centric Ethereum economics settle into a long-term equilibrium.

In which case Unichain might be a reasonably safe bet given its brand equity inherited from Uniswap and the OP Superchain.

Thoughts?

I think there are two things to consider here. 

First this sounds like a great experiment and my gut feeling says „worth it“. App layer + OG + price = 🚀

But also they said they want to get to 250ms block times, so down the road the reqs will be incredibly high and potentially to much for home stakers. 

If you don’t mind unstaking if that happens and limits you I think this is worth a shot.
