Vitalik Buterin Suggests Lowering Ethereum Staking Minimum

According to Odaily, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently proposed on social media that developers should consider the possibility that the current 32 ETH staking requirement is a higher barrier for stakers than bandwidth requirements. He suggested that slightly increasing the bandwidth requirement in exchange for lowering the minimum staking deposit to 16 or 24 ETH could benefit both staking accessibility and scale. Buterin further mentioned that once Ethereum completes the peerdas upgrade, bandwidth requirements would decrease, and with the completion of orbit SSF, the minimum deposit could be reduced to as low as 1 ETH.
