While unconfirmed, Fantom ecosystem airdrop eligibility would likely reward users who supported its recovery and growth. Key actions include: staking FTM, using Fantom-native DeFi (e.g., SpookySwap, Beethoven X), providing liquidity, and participating in governance. Engaging with new projects building on the Sonic upgrade and bridging assets to the network are also probable factors. Consistent, long-term activity that demonstrates a commitment to the ecosystem's health would be highly valued.

Current estimates suggest 8-12% of restaked operators forego protection, primarily in experimental setups or among highly technical validators confident in their operational procedures. This rate is concerning given restaking's additional complexity and slash conditions. Educational initiatives target this group, emphasizing that protection is crucial even for experienced operators in multi-AVS environments.

How many restaked node operators skip slash protection? While a precise figure is impossible to obtain, the number of restaked node operators who completely skip slashing protection is likely a small but non-zero minority. This group probably consists of three types: 1) Novices who are unaware of the risk or the tools, 2) Overconfident/Experienced Operators who mistakenly believe their custom setups are immune to faults, and 3) Those performing small-scale tests with minimal value. However, given that restaking introduces additional layers of complexity and slashing conditions from multiple AVSes, the risk multiplier is higher than solo chain staking. This increased peril makes skipping protection even more irrational. The economic and reputational gravity of the restaking ecosystem will likely continue to push the adoption rate towards 100% for all serious operators.
