Ethereum staking reward cut plan EIP-8363 sparks fierce debate
Ethereum\'s EIP-8363 proposal to gradually reduce staking rewards is facing strong pushback over concerns it could hurt DeFi, decentralisation and institutional demand. The plan would lower rewards as more ether is staked and cut protocol issuance to zero if 50 percent of total supply is staked. Proponents say Ethereum already has sufficient security and non-stakers bear dilution. Opponents say staking may slow naturally and the issue is not large enough to change issuance policy.

Ether.fi removes restaking exposure from weETH, moves toward split with EigenLayer
Ether.fi has removed all restaking exposure from its flagship weETH token, turning it into a pure liquid staking token, while limiting restaking to a separate Symbiotic-based token, weETHs, The Defiant reported on Thursday. The change effectively ends Ether.fi’s position as the largest operator built on the EigenLayer restaking model. Data from DefiLlama show Ether.fi’s staking segment at $3.3 billion, with weETH supply at 1.72 million and weETHs at 9,136.
