Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has proposed three alternative ways of solving a potential pain point related to Ethereum’s consensus mechanism.

The second approach would be to have two layers of stakers, one with heavier requirements and the other with lighter requirements.
The third way would be to have a rotating set of participants, meaning that a random set of validators are selected for each slot.
