Ethereum

The lovely @sassal.eth had a clip today where he said protocols planning an airdrop should consider dropping to home stakers - people running solo, DVT nodes, or Rocket Pool mini pools. 

I'm going to explain why this is a win-win in EV terms.

Is your LST safe?

It is in the best interest of new protocols to attract the attention of this crowd.

Node operators are highly informed technically and are well-capitalized. They make strong stewards in governance since running a node is often some part altruism.

It is in the best interest of Ethereum for solo stakers to be incentivized. Solo stakers are the security of last resort.

Let's be honest - the number of home stakers has been relatively falling. 

/eigenlayer pods may be the first time that the trend may start to reverse.

Finally, this process is getting easier. Ratedw3b is working on updated tracking. 

You can already see the POAP for all genesis depositors. 

These are the core of the core diehards - people who listen to ACD calls and interact making their voices carry.

Shout out to protocols that have already started in this direction. 

/divastaking airdropped $DIVA to solo stakers and RP node operators

/eigenlayer seems poised to do so with eigenpods...and maybe more? 

Who will heed the call and help make home staking great again?

Ethereum stakers are not miners. The staking community is deeply entrenched in the real Ethereum community. 

You can find Rocket Pool node operators as devs in protocols from 
Balancer to /eigenlayer. 

Even shitcoin traders often have a core staking stash.
