The home-stakers collective Empowering individual stakers, preserving decentralization
On Issuance Reduction
The objective of minimum viable issuance and the associated concept of not overpaying for security make sense. However, solo-stakers are organizing in the Stakers Union because the real and opportunity costs for node operation are high - and potentially disproportionately so for independent operators. Current solo-stakers may be willing to absorb some of these costs for now. However, these measures will certainly deter future stakers. If ETH price increases as we believe it will, committing t...

The Stakers Union Pledge
What is the Stakers Union?We are a collective of solo-stakers, organizing because we are passionate about Ethereum and the long-term health of the network. As solo-stakers, we play perhaps the most important role in ensuring the decentralization and durability of the blockchain. The oft-cited goal of being “World War III-resistant” is achieved partly through protocol-level efforts such as client diversity, but a genuinely decentralized validator network requires solo-stakers.
