Draft Proposal to Adjust Ethereum Staking Reward Burn Rate to 100%

Ethereum (ETH) researchers have announced a draft proposal to increase the validator reward burn rate to 100% when the staking amount reaches 60.25 million ETH. This proposal applies when approximately 50% of the total supply is staked. According to Cointelegraph, this draft has been assigned the temporary number EIP-8363 and involves six researchers and developers, including Justin Drake. The draft gradually increases the burn rate as the staking volume grows, reaching a 100% deduction rate when 60.25 million ETH is reached. Currently, according to the official Ethereum staking page, the total staking amount is 41,428,828 ETH, accounting for 33% of the total supply, with an annual percentage rate (APR) of 2.6%. The draft authors argue that the current reward curve maintains staking incentives and can dilute the stake of non-staking holders. However, some experts express concerns that the reduction in rewards could deepen validator concentration. EIPs are documents proposing technical standards and network changes for Ethereum, with the final adoption deadline not being August 6 but related to the Hegota upgrade schedule. The selection process may continue until November 8, and the application of the Hegota mainnet is expected in the second quarter of 2027.
