Phased Reduction Strategy

Phase 1 (Launch Phase)

Set the staking requirement at 1 ETH to ensure a stable foundation of validators who are deeply invested in the network's success. This phase focuses on establishing a secure, efficient, and scalable network infrastructure with the support of experienced and committed validators.

Phase 2 (Expansion Phase)

Gradually reduce the staking requirement from 1 ETH to 0.1 ETH, expanding the validator base and further decentralizing the network. This transition will be carefully managed to maintain network security and performance while opening up validator participation to a wider array of community members.
