Six researchers filed a draft EIP that would burn a rising fraction of Ethereum validator rewards so staking beyond 50% of supply earns no issuance, phased in over 18 months. A group of six researchers submitted a draft Ethereum Improvement Proposal that would burn a growing share of validator rewards. The plan would burn the validator rewards in accordance with how much ETH gets staked. Six researchers, including Jérôme de Tychey, Ladislaus von Daniels, and Justin Drake from the Ethereum Foundation, have put forward a proposal that would change how Ethereum pays validators by deducting from the rewards validators already earn. The deduction grows as the staking ratio climbs, and when the staking ratio hits around half of all ETH supply, the deduction reaches 100%.
