moreover, there was a jan 2025 paper that has modeled a pool of 100 validators vs a solo"

> "Both Lido and AAVE have strong vested financial interests in the current huge unstoppable increase in stake %, hour by hour, day by day.

Continued stake increase past 50% on the way to 70-80% is absolutely NOT in the interest of Ethereum, nor the interest of individual stakers."

When the DAO's share of staking revenue runs above a revenue baseline, a bounded share of the surplus accrues to a running NEST balance. 

While the balance is positive, NEST automatically buys LDO daily via

Deficits carry forward, so new surplus must clear the shortfall before purchases resume. If the balance turns negative, purchases pause automatically. No governance action required."
