ME News reports that on August 8 (UTC+8), during the All Core Devs consensus call held on August 6—a biweekly meeting to discuss consensus-layer changes—Jerome introduced EIP-8363, a proposal aimed at introducing a declining burn mechanism to Ethereum, under which validator staking rewards would be set to zero once the staking ratio exceeds 50%. However, other participants expressed concerns about the potential negative impact on small validators, increased centralization risks, and questioned the actual yield for stakers as well as the implementation complexity. As a result, the proposal was ultimately recommended for removal from consideration for the Hegira upgrade. Participants also advised Jerome and other authors of the proposal to respond to all comments on the EIP’s thread on the Eth Magicians forum. It is understood that EIP-8363 was submitted as a draft on August 4 in an attempt to meet the Hegira upgrade’s non-core EIP submission deadline (August 6), but it sparked widespread community debate over timing, impacts on staking and DeFi, and centralization risks. Major Ethereum ecosystem companies—including SharpLink CEO Joseph Chalom, Aave founder Stani Kulechov, and Ether.fi founder Mike Silagadze—publicly opposed the proposal. (Source: ODAILY)
