Early last month, @greenpilldevs published its Regenerative Stack series, exploring different ideas and models for funding regenerative coordination. One model that really stood out to me was squad staking, where a group of people (a squad) come together to collectively run an Ethereum validator. The existing approach focuses on technical participation: squad members purchase nodes, use DVTs like @Obol_Collective, and join @LidoFinance CSM to access the 32 ETH validator collateral after providing a bond between 1.8 to 2.5 ETH. In my latest article, I explore the separation of technical contribution and financial where members could choose to be technical participants that purchase nodes to run the squad validator or financial participants that provide the bond for activating validator capital from chosen staking protocols. I also outline practical allocation strategies for using this model to create a scalable and sustainable funding mechanism for regeneration. I would love to hear your thoughts on this approach.
