Kleros founder Clément Lesaege has proposed on EthResear.ch introducing a validator reward redirection mechanism at the protocol level to allocate a portion of staking rewards toward funding public goods in the Ethereum ecosystem. If more than 51% of validators agree, the redirection rate—ranging from 0% to 10%—would apply uniformly to all validators. Validators may choose their preferred funding recipients and proportions, with execution clients aggregating results via King-of-the-Hill or Condorcet winner mechanisms. The proposal acknowledges potential risks such as validator collusion and delegation issues and is currently under discussion.
