Echoing what I just posted in the other chat: > [@\[DRC\] dYdX Community Staking Proposal](https://dydx.forum/t/drc-dydx-community-staking-proposal/2444/19): > > I understand the idea of fortifying the chain security of DYDX by using community pool funds, but it doesn’t solve the underlying question. If the conclusion is that the amount of DYDX staked has leveled out and is not increasing anymore, why are we not asking the question why that is happening first? If this question is not answered beforehand… then there is a measure chosen which will in the end not solve the problem. I am also glad with the transparency of validators that they are part of t… pStake should at least be added, since they are working with an automated delegation. So that is quite a no-brainer. I would personally also like to see an exploration at the inclusion of QuickSilver to make sure we diversify even further. I am aware that they work with intent signalling and is more difficult in that perspective compared to Stride / Persistence, but reducing systemic risk should be a core topic imo, since we are talking about considereable amounts of funds here. --- _[View the full topic](https://dydx.forum/t/diversify-potential-dydx-community-staking-with-stride-and-pstake-finance/2453)._
