Similar to our comments in previous AMAs - while staking is an important part of the Enigma network, it is too early to determine the precise dynamics that will be required to best secure the network. Our primary responsibility to is create the most robust and effective solution that will allow us to realize the promise of secret contracts and privacy for decentralized systems. We cannot rush important decisions that will meaningfully impact the function of the network. We appreciate the community’s patience and understanding of this critical point.
