Has the foundation made missteps? I don’t really see the rationale for moving power to the big miners.

- pa7x1 2y agoThere are no miners on Ethereum for years already.
- 0x64 2y agoEthereum operates under a permissionless proof-of-stake model, it has not been mineable since the Merge in 2022. There are obviously large staking pools (including decentralized pools), but there is also a substantial community of people who stake from home on a validating node of their own. A good example is the EthStaker community on Reddit [1]. The compute and bandwidth requirements are very permissible (quad-core CPU, 16-32 GB memory, 2-4 TB SSD, 20/20 Mb/s), and the theoretical size of minimum stake has gone down substantially over time due to Rocket Pool [2].
