I'm curious about the reason behind the requirement of 32 
ETH for staking. Why is this specific amount chosen for the staking process? Is there a particular rationale or technical reason behind it?

    This action activates a validator, which plays a crucial role in the Ethereum blockchain.

    It disincentivizes malicious behavior that could potentially harm the Ethereum network.

    As a validator, you store data and process transactions on the network.

    Additionally, validators are responsible for adding new blocks to the blockchain.

    The requirement to stake tokens acts as a security measure.
