On the June 29 episode of the Bankless podcast, Buterin revealed the “biggest reason” why he is only staking a small fraction of his ETH. He explained:“Because if you stake your ETH, the keys that access it have to be public on a subsystem that is online. For safety, it has to be a Multisig. Multisig for staking is still fairly difficult to set up; it gets complicated in a bunch of ways.”Buterin speaking on the Bankless podcast on June 29. Source: Bankless


Charles Hoskinson, the co-founder of Ethereum and founder of Cardano, took to Twitter on June 30, stating he is “at a loss for words” after hearing Buterin only stakes a small portion of his Ether.


Hoskinson added that “all” of his Cardano (ADA) is staked.I had to listen to this a few times. I"m just at a loss for words. All of our Ada is staked. Guess what that"s how it"s supposed to be for a properly designed Proof of Stake protocol. https://t.co/ye6va1DH06— Charles Hoskinson (@IOHK_Charles) June 29, 2023


Buterin also discussed the EigenLayer protocol, which allows Ethereum validators and stakers to “re-stake” their assets onto other emerging networks.


While it is only in its testnet phase and not expected to launch until the third quarter of 2023, Buterin said the main challenge is that it creates “centralization risks,” stating:“Trustworthy stakers would be valued more by the system than untrustworthy stakers. Trustworthy stakers are much less likely to actually get slashed.”


Sreeram Kaanan, the founder of EigenLayer, explained there are “complex risks” with restaking, and it is important to take a “constrained approach in building restaking.“


“Constraints being what is really good for the ecosystem, and having constraints on building what new innovation can be unleashed based on this concept,” he stated.Panelists on the June 29 Bankless podcast episode. Source: Bankless

This comes after Buterin stated in a June 9 blog that the Ethereum blockchain outright “fails” without sufficient scaling infrastructure to make transactions cheap.


He also noted another point of failure related to smart contract wallets. 


He explained that a move to smart contract wallets has resulted in certain challenges arising due to the complexities associated with user experience when users take control of multiple addresses at once.
