Why Liquid Staking Derivatives cannot safely exceed consensus thresholds

Any single actor, entity, or protocol exceeding key thresholds - 1/3 being critical - is a threat to Ethereum's security, neutrality, and legitimacy
There are dozens of great solutions out there. Protect your capital by staking with a minority solution

Lido passing 1/3 is a centralization attack on PoS.
We're bad at assessing tail risk, but staking in Lido at these thresholds has a lot of it.
In blockchain systems, tail risk isn't even necessarily so far fetch. Systems tend to hit edge cases, systems tend to get exploited 1/2

A friendly reminder that you must update your execution layer (eth1) client before this date

"It is time for everybody to take client diversity seriously."

@benjaminion_xyz
There are 4 excellent clients live on mainnet today
Protect yourself and protect the network by running a minority client -- teku, nimbus, or lighthouse

If these were the issues observed during the mainnet transition --
* 9% operator with a configuration problem
* two small bugs affecting a minority of stakers that can be fixed locally (no new code deployed)
Then it would be considered a resounding success
Fantastic work.

Make it a social norm for all DAOs (and other network tokens) building on Ethereum to allocate 1.5% of their tokens to the individuals building and designing the L1 infrastructure they rely upon.

Withdrawals is a great time to catalyze a redistribution of stake amongst pools for a more secure Ethereum
Just like stakers succeeded in making Ethereum more resilient by switching consensus clients, we can do so at Shapella for pools
Do your part, switch to a smaller pool!

I suppose first of all is that I personally don't expect Phase 0 participation to be for everybody.
Staking comes with many risks and staking early in eth2 comes with even more than if you jumped in a couple of years down the line

@Superbadcrypto
many CL clients on ethereum experienced high load due to an exceptional scenario. Lighthouse did not due to a different design approach. This kept the network live throughout the incident (at 40 to 50% of blocks) until the other clients caught up and the network finalized

Your project is not decentralized if you allocate 50%+ to insiders -- company/vcs/founders/devs/"foundation"/etc
I'm not sure where the line is, and at some threshold it might depend on the circumstances of the protocol, community, etc.
But at 50%+, it's clear as day

Thanks
@ETHGlobal
for letting me rant last week
"eth1" & "eth2" are misnomers and imply a false sequentiality
Instead, they are different layers of the same stack.
eth1: R&D and upgrades to the user layer
eth2: R&D and upgrades to the core consensus
