Ethereum 
$2,336Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of , responded to the concerns of the ETH staking community when selling his ETH holdings. In his statement on the X platform, he presented a plan and roadmap to reduce the Ethereum staking requirement to 1 ETH over time.
Staking Conditions May Be Changed
Buterin stated that reducing the staking entry barrier, which is currently a minimum of 32 ETH, to 16 or 24 ETH could increase user access. This change could contribute to broader participation in the Ethereum network by enabling more people to engage in staking.
Buterin suggested temporarily increasing bandwidth requirements in exchange for lowering the staking threshold. He stated that this approach could have positive results in terms of staking accessibility and network scalability.
Future Vision
Buterin predicts that the staking minimum may drop to 1 ETH once bandwidth and peer-to-peer issues are resolved. These changes are expected to contribute to the further decentralization of the Ethereum ecosystem. “Solo staking and home-running of full nodes are important to maintain the true decentralization of Ethereum,” says independent Ethereum educator Anthony Sassano. he said.
Last week, Buterin also proposed the ‘Ethereum Alignment’ concept, aiming to increase open source value, economic unity and synergy in the Ethereum ecosystem.
On the other hand, Ethereum and other altcoins are facing significant selling pressure. Following the sales of ETH wallets linked to Buterin, a whale has sold a large amount of ETH since an ICO. It was observed that these sales led to a decrease of over 8 percent in the price of ETH.
The Ethereum community considers that these possible changes in the staking requirement could have positive effects in terms of the security and decentralization of the network. These steps could contribute to wider adoption of Ethereum.
