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.

🙋‍♂️ I’d solo stake if the requirement was lowered.


Unless you got involved in the space before 2021, acquiring 32 ETH is unachievable for the average person in the developed world, and ludicrous for almost everyone in the developing world.
