The proposal faced immediate opposition from industry figures including SharpLink CEO Joseph Chalom and was pulled from the Hegotá upgrade on August 6.

Top claims

▪Under the EIP-8363 model, the net consensus yield reaches zero at approximately 49.5% of the modeled ETH supply, which is commonly referred to in the industry as the 50% staking ratio.
▪EIP-8363 proponents argue that lowering yields is necessary because the current curve overpays for network security and encourages stake concentration among large custodians and exchanges.
▪Proponents of EIP-8363 calculate that without intervention, staked ETH could exceed 70 million ETH by January 2028, representing over 55% of the total supply.
