Default Request: info about staking agreements

I'm writing an article about why staking agreements are structured the way they are and whether there's a more efficient way to design them. In pursuit of that end, I'd love to hear the details (no names please) of any sizeable agreements you've been a part of in the past. I'd be particularly interested in deals that were of especially long duration or which you felt were structured abnormally. The reasons you had for setting up the deal this way would be great.

What's in it for you? From my research so far, it seems like a lot of people set up stakes without considering the problems and costs that might arise. For anyone who's interested, I'd be delighted to offer suggestions about how your particular deal might be better structured, or how you might work around a specific problem. I'm also going to ask a professor (worked on VC deals in Silicon Valley, teaches a class on deal-structuring at Stanford) to look over my article, so he might also offer some insight.

PM me if interested.

Thanks.
