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, it's easier to find a good Internet connection than lock in $80k

Would going down from 80k to 40k move the needle though? Hard for me to imagine, maybe <10k would though.

Maybe it could be the avg eth balance across all wallets coupled w/proof of humanity.  So if the avg actual user has .5 eth then it's ~.5.  Could also change over time and people are grandfathered in regardless of future req.
