Absolutely agree regarding the projects you listed above that are factor limited. They are all continually out of cover capacity, and potential customers need always come to the discord to ask about capacity that they likely will never get. An increase to 2-3x from the current 1x would seem to make reasonable sense under the current system.
Also agree mightily on the staking front - personally, I don’t stake due to the inability to spread risk without having an overly complex transaction to sign which the one time I tried it, had a transaction fee of almost 1ETH at the beginning of April (see here), thus increasing leverage would not incentivize me to stake. Additionally, the long lockup / tail burn period is somewhat of a turnoff, and I found the UI to be pretty confusing so I gave up on it. I think options like delegated staking which can reduce transaction costs (hopefully one, non-complex transaction to sign) and eliminate the need to personally research each individual project, and reducing/removing the lockup period would have a much greater effect on the proportion of holders choosing to stake. IMO ofc, based off my Nexus experience .
