Ethereum community member Ryan Berckmans breaks down the role of EIP-7251 (maxeb) and discusses why Ethereum’s next upgrade, the Pectra upgrade, should include the proposal, Wu said. He said maxeb increases the maximum valid balance of a validator from 32 ETH to any number of ETH, incentivizing staking operators to merge any number of validators into a single super-validator. Otherwise, if ETH staking grows to more than 50%, it will lead to serious or even fatal beacon chain instability. Because it was not designed with so many validators in mind. Long-term solutions are still in the research stages. The only option now is to reduce the number of validators.
