That’s fine but you do have a specific interest here, just like everyone; and I think its the crux of the issue. Adam, this has been a good debate, and I appreciate your perspective. Yet, I want to be clear here that my only specific interest is in helping to prevent a Lido majority/supermajority. Lido is a great team and an amazing product. But, it seems that ETH holders would rather not exist in the timeline where Lido runs 30%, 50%, 70%+ of stake for years to come. The ethereum community has spent years investing in maximizing credible neutrality via client diversity, our research community, etc. We think the liquid staking industry deserves a real chance to become an oligopoly instead of a monopoly. Unfortunately, nobody has a better idea to curtail Lido’s hyper-dominance with **certainty** other than pleading with the Lido community to altruistically and voluntarily self-limit market share for a temporary period of two years while competitors catch up. Thanks to Vasiliy and the whole Lido team and community. --- _[View the full topic](https://research.lido.fi/t/should-lido-on-ethereum-be-limited-to-some-fixed-of-stake/2225)._
