Does a Higher Staking Requirement in PoS Correlate with Lower Transaction Fee Volatility?

There is no direct, guaranteed correlation. A high staking requirement primarily affects network security and decentralization by limiting who can become a validator.

Fee volatility is mainly driven by network demand, block capacity, and the fee mechanism design (like EIP-1559). However, if a high requirement leads to a more stable and professional validator set, it might indirectly support better block production and adherence to fee rules, potentially stabilizing the market.
