Ethereum

Cross-posting a thought on staking from the other app:

------

Perhaps we should recognize that 32 ETH is much more of a barrier for stakers than bandwidth reqs, and temporarily do a trade where we up the bandwidth reqs a bit and in exchange drop the staking deposit minimum to eg. 16 or 24 ETH.

It's net-good for both staking accessibility and scale. Then once we figure out peerdas, bandwidth reqs go back down, and once we figure out orbit SSF, the deposit minimum can drop to 1 ETH.

1 ETH nodes #stakefromhome will grow and more will have skin in the game. +1 on this idea. I’m an early 16 & 8 ETH Rocket Pool node operator and that hurdle is still to high for most.

#etherfi has done the best job thus far lowering the barrier to easy staking but still most don’t run nodes bc it’s 2 ETH
