In my opinion, any project that cares about decentralization should promote non-custodian HODLing/staking.

MF delegation enforces hi-uptime and good behaviors on the validators’ side. And, there is also a rule that limits concentration.

Why not encourage holders to delegate to them…

Also, Polkdot enforces decentralization at the protocol level. I think that PoS blockchains need such a mechanism. There are proposals about it here: [Long Term Decentralisation ideas? - #19 by TauLepton](https://forums.minaprotocol.com/t/long-term-decentralisation-ideas/4683/19)
