Forcing staking is like forcing vaccines
wow ok
being forced to stake 3k worth of PRV to gain anything from this chain
That’s the whole point of proof-of-stake networks. One eth2 validator costs over $100k btw.
On a serious note, your pNode was likely misconfigured and has been slashed due to bad performance (nodes shouldn’t be earning rewards if they don’t vote properly in committee).
The stake has been returned to the core team which manage these nodes, so do message @Support with the code at the bottom of your pNode and they will get it sorted.
