REWARD CURVE WITH TEMPERED ISSUANCE: EIP RESEARCH POST
Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter
Ethereum researcher Anders Elowsson outlines the reasoning behind moderating Ethereum staking reward issuance. The idea is to use a curve that gradually decreases staking rewards as the amount of staked ETH increases beyond what is seen as a sufficient level. Though it may seem controversial, the argument is that Ethereum only needs so much security before paying validators becomes redundant. Elowsson argues there should be more non-staked than staked ETH to ensure the network stays neutral.
