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.

As a solo staker, I support this compromise because it could increase the number of solo stakers. With maxEB, only solo stakers are still constrained by the 32 ETH minimum. (I also hope that after pectrA, we'll see a strong consolidation and a reduction in the number of validators, making room for more solo stakers without greatly increasing the network load.) We have some leeway regarding bandwidth, but we need to be cautious. Internet connectivity heavily depends on location, and until multiple satellite internet solutions are widely available, this remains a challenge. The geographical diversification of the validator set is one of its most important properties. By lowering the minimum required ETH, we can increase the number of solo stakers, but we must optimize the bandwidth bottleneck in the long term if we want to make staking more accessible and maintain network health.
