【ConsenSys states that the new Ethereum staking limit does not hinder decentralization, paving the way for institutional participation】 Golden Finance reports that ConsenSys Research Director Mallesh Pai stated that the Ethereum Pectra upgrade "does not pose a threat to decentralization" and that the upgrade merely cleared up "a significant amount of complex work happening behind the scenes". He emphasized that "rewards continue to be proportional to the amount of staked ETH", meaning that "large validators will not gain more advantages as a result". This upgrade raises the staking limit for individual validators from 32 ETH to 2048 ETH, raising concerns about decentralization. Pai pointed out that many technical validators "are not truly independent", and after the upgrade, keys can be consolidated, stating, "We have already seen this happen", and "Ideally, the number of validators will drop to about 30,000". The Vice President of Institutional Business at P2P.org stated that the new limit "makes institutional staking easier to integrate and lowers risks".
