Sybil attacks allow users to have a small amount of individual stakes to create hundreds of pools with low margin and have the ability to gain consensus control, participating in double spending. But by making the pool with a higher commitment more attractive to the staker, these types of attacks are easily prevented. However, this forced Cardano to trade, potentially detrimental, so it was necessary to increase the impact of the commitment as low as possible to keep smaller pools competitive, while ensuring user privacy.

That is why the parameter determining the impact of a commitment has not yet been set. However, it is designed to be flexible and adjust over time. This is why testley Shelley Haskell will provide the ideal opportunity to adjust parameters and check which value works best.
The computer will help pool operators to understand the level of commitment affecting the trust and the rewards currently active and will help operators navigate the network more easily.
