ETH Protocol Funding Mechanism Debate
Using burned ETH fees as a funding mechanism would be preferable to validator reward redirection because it avoids concentrating control among large stakers.
Too little corroboration in the last 3 days to call a trend (2 articles). Watching for it to gain traction.
"EIP-8361 seeks to remove what its authors describe as a permanent incentive for more ETH to enter staking, even when additional deposits may provide limited security benefits. The current issuance curve continues offering a yield of around 1.5% even if nearly all ETH is staked."
"Karapetsas said that if Ethereum needed a funding mechanism, he would prefer using burned ETH fees rather than a share of validator proceeds. He said that option has its own problems tied to gas use, but viewed it as preferable to the cartel risk."
