Recently as Marinade reported we were about 5% steak away from having a network halt due to essentially a network leak leading to multi validator blackout. (helius and others)
I’ve been following sol and love the network for it’s capability and technical integrations although as once said, it is an engineering solution, incapable of solving human level problems or issues. There in we have validation voting and network governance.
I am NOT a validator although I’ve looked into it numerous times, I code and worked for retail finance in USA for a couple years so that’s like my advanced insight to what’s happening.
I’m not interested in just bringing up problems but the solution is delicate and is going to realistically involve the entire community.
It lies somewhere in-between lowering validator cost while maintaining high levels of throughput and maintain “” good validators ideally but money is cycling a lot and if you can’t keep a core network of invested and interested INDIVIDUALS, not just corporations to be, then the ideals and concepts of decentralized network are going to be lost. I shutter to think of solana validators turning into the BTC lightning network but I know the level of complications the community must navigate are not particularly short and sweet or easy.
This is for larger entities to discuss and hopefully kick around because even though, and this is a separate topic, I feel 100 sol is a valid investor steak for what would be akin to a direct shareholder vote, I currently can’t foresee my capability to change a thing.
I have my steak split between one native and one cex controlled that I think does a validator distribution but the concepts are largely simple, solana wasn’t built for all of the eggs to be in one basket.
