As highlighted by Odaily, David Hoffman, founder of Bankless, recently took to the X platform to advocate for the vital role of independent stakers in ensuring network security. He stressed that the self-sovereignty of a network is intricately linked to its support for independent stakers. Hoffman warned that overlooking these stakers during favorable market conditions—when their numbers are robust—is a risky approach. In contrast, during challenging times when the number of independent stakers declines, this neglect can significantly jeopardize the network’s security.
