I am but a humble home staker, and had previously been running an ETH node since the early PoW days. Still, I hope that any upcoming consensus on the tradeoff between L1 scalability/throughput and decentralization/censorship resistance is informed by a level-headed analysis of actual staking data. Decentralization is Ethereumâs raison dâĂȘtre. No point in scaling if we place censorship resistance in the hands of a few tens of hyperscaled operators. But I also want scaling to keep up with adoption, and Iâm personally ready to upgrade my 2+ year old hardware and/or bandwidth if thatâs what it takes. I like to think that most home stakers (not LST hodlers) take their responsibility seriously enough to do that every few years. For sure, it would be awesome if staking nodes could play different roles depending on their access to bandwidth and compute, so that even those stuck with rural or Australia-level connectivity arenât left behind. But thatâs the cherry on top as far as Iâm concerned.

Any good advice for smaller holders that can't run a node. I have staked and re-staked my Eth but tbh still not too sure if I have actuelly selected a good and independent validator to contribute to the decentralisation aspect of Eth (basically filtered and selected based on good uptime and not like the biggest centralised ones)

If you stake with Rocket Pool (if you hold rETH), you're doing good. Ideally, stETH/wstETH should be avoided. Lido is not inherently bad, but they represent such a large size of staking they would become a risk for the network should they grow bigger. It's a bit harder to know what's what with restaking. I wouldn't sweat it all too much as a small holder. Do what makes sense to you above all - for the safety of your assets. "rETH better than other options" is a good guideline, I think.
