ChainCatcher message, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin posted on Farcaster that perhaps developers should realize that 32 ETH is a higher threshold for stakers than bandwidth requirements, and maybe they could slightly increase the bandwidth requirements in exchange for lowering the minimum staking deposit to, for example, 16 or 24 ETH. This would benefit both staking accessibility and scale. Then, once Ethereum is ready for the peerdas upgrade, the bandwidth requirements will decrease, and the minimum deposit limit could also be lowered to 1 ETH.

ChainCatcher news, Bankless founder David Hoffman posted on the X platform stating: "The independent validator community is the ultimate line of defense for network security. The self-sovereignty of the network is related to its commitment to independent validators. Ignoring independent validators in 'good times' is a luxury (referring to the larger number of independent validators when the market is doing well), but in 'bad times' it will cost us (referring to the reduced number of independent validators when the market is doing poorly, which in turn affects the ecological network security)."

ChainCatcher news, Bankless founder David Hoffman posted on X that, in a sense, the rollup-centric roadmap is already "complete," with current progress including the launch of 4844, DA, and cheap L2, while the primary optimization focus for the future is L1.Vitalik Buterin responded, saying: "I don't think this is a priority issue. The next step for DA is peerdas, and the people working on this are almost completely disconnected from those working on SSF or EVM execution improvements. I do think that saying 'the rollup-centric roadmap is complete' is declaring victory too early. We are only 1.3 times the peak usage away from blob full data (= 21600 blobs/day). We need to kick off peerdas and start secure scaling while improving L1." Hoffman continued, stating: "If we increase the block times of L1, won't that also increase the supply of block space (blobspace)? Focusing on L1 and simultaneously focusing on L1 as well as L2 feels synergistic, while focusing on DA only benefits L2."Vitalik explained: "If we reduce slot time without changing other variables, then the answer is yes. But the limits of both are determined by bandwidth constraints, so if we are satisfied with today's gas/blob limits, then we will also be directly satisfied with the gas/blob limits. So I generally think of bandwidth and latency as two independent issues. I do think reducing L1 slot time is worth discussing, although this needs to be done carefully to avoid 'killing' independent stakers, or even geographically dispersed stakers."

ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, recently, the 7-day moving average (7DMA) of daily staking income for Ethereum has dropped to $5.44 million, marking the lowest level since mid-February. The decline in this metric indicates that stakers are receiving less income from participating in the network, which may be influenced by factors such as reduced network activity, leading to lower transaction fees paid.Ethereum staking income refers to the rewards and earnings received by participants in the Ethereum proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism for validating transactions and securing the network. This income is typically generated through block rewards and transaction fees, distributed proportionally based on the amount of ETH staked.Additionally, the 7DMA of Ethereum network transaction counts is also approaching levels seen in February 2024, with only 1.15 million transactions on Friday, September 13, a decrease of about 13% from the annual high reached in March. Meanwhile, the 7DMA of on-chain transaction volume for Ethereum has also been hovering around February levels, at just $2.83 billion, which is approximately a 60% decline from the annual high in March and about a 56% drop from just over a month ago.
