Ethereum’s proposed EIP-8363 staking overhaul has triggered a major debate over the network’s monetary policy, with critics warning it could hurt DeFi, decentralization and institutional adoption.
The “Tapered Issuance Burn” proposal would progressively reduce validator rewards as more ETH is staked, eventually cutting new issuance to zero once 50% of Ethereum’s supply is locked in staking. Ethereum currently has about 41.5 million ETH staked, representing roughly 34% of supply.
