Let’s talk about nodes and validators:
The Pectra upgrade in May 2025 raised the maximum effective balance for validators from 32 ETH to 2048 ETH, while the minimum threshold remains 32 ETH.
In addition to running a node, validators must propose blocks and vote according to the rules. Being offline for a long time can result in losing part of their balance, while misconduct can lead to slashing.
