Cardano Contingent Staking

Selected claim, opposing its parent
Contingent Staking should not be added to Cardano directly because it would be better on a sidechain or L2.

Cons
Pro claim 1
Makes sense.
Con claim 1
Better is not well defined in this context
Con claim 2, children below
Staking on Cardano L1 is fully liquid and non-custodial. Staking through L2 likely requires giving up custody or using a smart contract takes that takes away some of the best benefits of Cardano staking.
Con claim 3
Even if we have KYC / business logic take place on Midnight or off chain. Contingent staking is still required on the L1 because thats where staking is finalized.
