Hey @Mark_Nakatani
, great article on Avalanche's tech!
Just a small correction: institutions aren't forced to lock up and validate with huge amounts of AVAX.
They don’t need to stake more than the minimum 2,000 AVAX per validator.
Many of them simply pay a service (like Ava Labs) to handle validation for them.
Once they pay for the service, they’re ready to run, no need for massive extra AVAX staking.
They can also use their own subnet token for most of the actual work. That said, Avalanche’s real strength will come when many more companies and projects build their own custom chains/subnets.
Right now, the institutional angle is still mostly about marketing and building trust, it helps big players feel comfortable entering crypto.
