Ethereum validator reward burn proposal draws backlash from Aave founder

A proposal in the Ethereum community to burn part of validator issuance rewards to curb supply growth has drawn public opposition from Aave founder Stani Kulechov. The proposal, EIP-8361, would gradually burn a portion of issuance rewards and could cut annual validator returns from about 2.862 percent to 1.476 percent. Kulechov argues the change could push individual stakers out, raise tax issues and increase institutional dominance.
