Vitalik proposed to support decentralized staking through more counter-cyclical incentives
ChainCatcher message, Vitalik published an article titled "Supporting Decentralized Staking Through More Anti-Correlation Incentives" stating, "One strategy to incentivize better decentralization in the protocol is to punish correlation. That is, if a participant makes a mistake (including accidental ones), the more other participants who behave improperly at the same time (measured in total ETH), the greater the punishment they will receive. This post proposes to extend similar anti-correlation incentives to more 'ordinary' failure cases, such as missing a proof, which almost all validators will experience at least occasionally."
Vitalik Buterin also mentioned on Warpcast, "Are validators in the same cluster (e.g., the same trading platform, the same user) more likely to miss proofs simultaneously than uncorrelated validators? If so, can we adjust rewards to support decentralized staking? Possibly."
