- Several Ethereum liquid staking providers, including #RocketPool , StakeWise, Stader Labs, Diva Staking, and Puffer Finance, are committing to a self-limit rule to ensure Ethereum staking remains decentralized.
- The self-limit rule states that these providers will not own more than 22% of the Ethereum staking market, proposed by #Ethereum core developer Superphiz.
- The 22% limit was chosen because at least four major entities colluding would be required to reach the 66% threshold needed for Ethereum's finality, where transactions are considered immutable.
- #Lido Finance, the largest Ethereum liquid #staking provider, with 32.4% of staked Ether, voted against the self-limit rule by a 99.81% majority in June.
- The self-limit proposal has sparked debates within the Ethereum community, with differing opinions on its impact on decentralization and Ethereum's alignment.
