Session
What is the impact of a reduction in staking yields on stakers, and how does it affect the market share of different groups? Could it lead to increased concentration? Using game theory, empirical research, and simulations, we analyze how changes in staking yields influence various staker types: Solo Stakers, Decentralized Staking Service Providers, and Centralized Staking Service Providers. We explore the conditions under which certain types gain market share and examine the potential implications for concentration.
