Thought of the moment.
Is there a way to think about all of this, where stLINK is the actual asset, and LINK is now the derivative token.
Every upgrade that occurs, that is naturally consistent with what the chainlink model intends…is that not naturally the upgrade or the higher version of that LINK token.
Hence, if LINK intends for LINK to be staked and for staking rewards to be had; is this upgrade or upwards piecemeal upgrade to the very token itself, not necessarily the newest version of the LINK token.
So is…staked LINK in the form of a token not simply the latest version of LINK.
This only holds true of course; if no new LINK token is generated. and only holds true if LINK: stLINK is always necessarily 1.
