Community Feedback For CSM Expansion
REGOOSE’s goal to “stay focused on security and decentralization” and GOOSE-2’s goal to “Establish an Open Market for Validators” are aligned with increasing the Community Staking Module (CSM) share of TVL from 1% to 2% and moving towards permissionless node operators (NOs).
We believe the benefits of CSM have been extensively elaborated over and do not require a thorough analysis here. In short, for the community, the prospective benefits are:
- An opinionated validator set
- Decentralization
- Increasingly equitable participation
- Ethereum alignment
The early adoption phase of the CSM yielded positive constructive results, and the proposed policy change is in line with GOOSE. In turn, we are in favor of expanding the CSM.
