Ethereum developers are planning to increase the limit of 32 ETH to be a validator on the network.
Ethereum core developers 16 June At the consensus meeting held on the same day, he brought up a remarkable issue. In addition to many issues raised at the meeting, the application to the validators 32 ETH of the limitation To 2,048 ETH The headline about the promotion created an agenda among the community.
To be a validator already on the Ethereum network completely 32 ETH staking needs. With the staking process, the validators both contribute to the operation of the network and provide variable rates on an annual basis. interest yield wins. But from 32 ETH in proportion to the amount deposited by users who want to deposit more multiple validators they need to create.
According to the developers, the necessity of creating this extra validator and Limited capacity of 32 ETH whereas swelling of the validator set size it causes. With this limit increase to be made, the network efficiency increase and it is aimed to reduce the validator density in the queue. According to current data 600,000 active validators And additional 90,000 validators waiting in line exists.
On the other hand, the increase in the said limit will result in Ethereum’s may harm its decentralized structure. There are those who think.
Ethereum Foundation researcher and key advocate of the proposed change Michael Neuder He also stated that this limit increase will create the possibility of automatically combining validator rewards.
Validators cannot earn more than the amount they stake in the current system, so to get more returns, assets need to be diverted elsewhere. But if the upper limit limit is increased, this awards It will become composable by validators. In this way, validators will receive their staked ETH. more earning potential they will have.
