Ethereum developers are considering reducing the staking minimum from 32 ETH to 1 ETH, potentially increasing the number of validators to over 1-10 million, depending on the total ETH staked. This change is theoretically feasible due to advancements in recursive SNARK aggregation, which could reduce bandwidth overhead to 1 bit per participant per slot. However, implementing this would require more conservative parameter choices, leading to increased latency. While slot times would remain unaffected, finality times could double from 8-16 seconds to 16-32 seconds, presenting a tradeoff for the Ethereum ecosystem.
