edit: I'm only about 1/3rd in but this is already a great and enlightening discussion that I recommend everyone who stakes or is interested in staking watch
Sounds like most from the podcast are very cautious about restaking. For what it's worth, I agree and am glad Justin had a plan to neuter it if worse comes to worst. I know we all want to encourage solo staking, but I don't know if this is the healthy way.
What’s the plan to neuter?
The realistically available option is making the staking contract updatable. So instead of getting slashed 1 eth and kicked out of the validator pool, you could be slashed up to 32 eth, making restaking a very risky behavior. The other was removing the slashing conditions through one shot signatures. I'm not gonna pretend to understand how this exactly works. Sounds like fancy cryptography that may only be possible in the future decades.
