Summary: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following a proposal<\/a> from Ethereum Foundation researcher Michael Neuder, core developers of crypto\u2019s largest altcoin network could increase the validator balance cap from the 32 ETH limit to a staggering 2,048 ETH if the idea garners support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Neuder shared the proposal during the developer’s bi-weekly call where client teams meet to discuss and coordinate the most important updates to the network. The increase in validator balance seems to address a major concern – the growing number of validators on Ethereum’s PoS network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Indeed, the current 32 ETH limit means that entities must run multiple validators if they wish to stake past the limit and access more staking rewards. The balance limit has so far spurred an increase in validators which currently exceeds half a million<\/a>, a rapid increase since The Merge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to Neuder\u2019s proposal, increasing the balance limit will push Ethereum toward greater efficiency by optimizing finality in a single block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While the current balance cap buoys decentralization, it also causes entities to operate a concerning number of validators which could adversely impact network efficiency, Neuder argued during Friday\u2019s developer’s call.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMore Ethereum Rewards For Validators<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
