Home stakers & node operators! We created a survey to start creating better data on what home / solo stakers care about & need, in their own words! It helps researchers kno how to advocate for us (some Qs were contributed by them!) Pls fill it out if you run validators! https://stakinglandscape.li...

This EIP research post provides the rationale for adjusting Ethereum’s issuance policy to use a reward curve with tempered issuance. It covers relevant trade-offs, reviews security considerations, and discusses the endgame. https://ethresear.ch/t/rewa...

To cite @caspar, when you listening to the ep/read the proposal: Don't compare it to the current state but compare the long-term equilibria we can arrive at under different curves (and approaches). I think that it's an important perspective to keep in mind when thinking of this topic. https://warpcast.com/klaudy...

thanks for having us on and the productive back and forth @hasu @joncharbonneau! staking economics is a super important topic and hopefully this convo helps to give more context on the intentions of our proposals and how we see things :)
ETHEREUM STAKING ENDGAME @hasu & @joncharbonneau brought on @ansgar.eth & @caspar from the EF following their latest research & proposal to change ETH issuance 2.5 hours going deep on PoS economics, LSTs, restaking, economic security & more Links below 👇

the targeting post is not a concrete proposal, but has lots of open questions, as discussed in doc. especially: what should the target be? what’s secure enough? 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 2/3? just to name a few pretty ratios lol

the targeting post is an attempt to propose an issuance policy that is future proof and does not need to be touched again.

wrote down some thoughts with @ansgar.eth, exploring the status quo of staking economics, its drawbacks as we see them, and what the endgame of staking economics could look like + what we should do in the short term until endgame.

Have you been going down the rabbit hole of “Timing games”, trying to identify the trend of dominant blockbuilders? One of the most interesting projects I’ve been working on. Big thanks to @EdenNetwork data team for making these datasets public. https://t.co/Y58uAz3Bd6

yesterday's optimistic relay outage caused some confusion around ePBS. these topics are near and dear to my heart, so i wanted to get this out ASAP to help demystify the situation.

A good reason to replug my post with a candidate reward curve in Sec. 5.5 that tempers issuance and thus growth in the quantity of stake, while retaining consensus incentives under equilibrium https://warpcast.com/hildob... https://ethresear.ch/t/prop...
