Ethereum founder propose 'Rainbow Staking' that include heavy and light stakers to tackle concentration risk.

The participation of institutional custodians could reduce the current concentration on the Lido decentralized staking platform.
However, the report also noted that such a move may also “introduce new concentration risk, particularly if a single entity is chosen to stake the bulk of ether in these ETFs.” As such, S&P Global called for consistent monitoring of concentration risk regardless of the impact of spot ETH ETFs.a new “rainbow staking” proposal – A plan to enhance staking diversity using less than 32 ETH alongside a less overwhelming node operation.
Buterin expounded on rainbow staking, stating, “the idea here is that you explicitly split up into two kinds of staking, and you call it heavy staking and light staking.”“The less than 32 ETH part is more challenging and basically because originally 32 ETH was a compromise between not requiring too much ETH to be a staker and not having too many stakers because that would make blocks too hard to process.
