Buterin aims to reduce Ethereum’s staking requirements to encourage solo staking and support increased decentralization.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has recognized the importance of lowering the minimum Ether required for crypto investors to earn passive income via solo staking.
On Oct. 3, Buterin joined a community discussion on X to support lowering the minimum Ether (ETH) deposit requirement for solo stakers.
Solo stakers run full nodes using private computer equipment without relying on third-party services, centralized entities or staking pools to run. However, the current requirement of locking up 32 ETH is a deterrent to broader participation.
