He pointed out that even a small number of independent stakers could provide a crucial layer of defense against potential threats like 51% attacks.<\/p>\n<p>In his recent interactions with the community, Buterin proposed a temporary solution: increasing the bandwidth requirement while lowering the staking deposit to 16 or 24 ETH. However, he acknowledged potential challenges for home networks. Eventually, Buterin aims to drop the solo staking threshold to just 1 ETH, making it accessible to more participants.<\/p>\n<style>\n    .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40
