I’ve heard on a few podcasts that EigenLayer was planning on distinguishing among restakers (i.e. home validators) and was wondering if the team has identified a process for verifying that a validator is a home-staker.

I ask because I’m creating a collective of [home stakers](https://stakersunion.com/) and we’re attempting to define a similar process for membership while still preserving privacy.
