<h4><b>This surge in Eth stakers is expanding the staking pool, which has led to a debate in the Ethereum community. </b></h4> 
<p>Let’s discover more about Ethereum’s staking in this article.</p> 
<h5><strong>Rising ETH Stakers Ignite Community Debate</strong></h5> 
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Due to increased activities in the Ethereum staking pool, the community proposed slowing down the Ethereum issuance rate. If this happens, what’s the fate of ETH stakers? Stakers’ rewards will be reduced compared to their earnings from the staking pool. The proposal will increase the value of ETH over staked ETH; stETH.</span></p> 
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to <a href="https://insights.glassnode.com/the-week-onchain-week-16-2024/?utm_campaign=woc_16_2024&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=woc_newsletter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Glassnode</a>, the rapid increase in ETH staking led to over 31.4 million ETH in the staking pool, which is 26% of the total supply of Ethereum.

 <p lang="en" dir="ltr">The <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Ethereum?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Ethereum</a> community is debating a change to the ETH monetary policy, following a proposal aimed at constraining the rapid expansion of the staking pool.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Every blockchain network has a mechanism to oversee its activities. The Ethereum network uses the Proof-of-Stake mechanism, which decreases rewards whenever the <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/lido-staked-ether" target="_blank" rel="noopener">staked ETH</a> increases. With a 31.4 million staked ETH rise, validators earn 3.2% yearly. The innovation on Eigenlayer protocols increased the number of stakers.</span></p> 
<h5><b>Staking Growth: Liquid Restaking</b></h5> 
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When you stake funds via Eigen’s liquid restaking, you earn liquid versions of your funds in return. So, you get a 63% liquid version of your staked funds. An increase in stETH could reduce the value of ETH for ETH holders.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For ETH to continuously maintain its value, the community proposed a switch in ETH’s monetary policy. The Ethereum network also made a few upgrades that significantly reduced the growth of ETH staking pools.</span></p> 
<h5><b>Conclusion&nbsp;</b></h5> 
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to <a href="https://insights.glassnode.com/the-week-onchain-week-16-2024/?utm_campaign=woc_16_2024&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=woc_newsletter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Glassnode</a>, over 31.4 million ETH staked could lead to a decline in Ethereum’s value for transactional purposes. The idea proposed by the community will face many dismissals, especially by ETH stakers, but this is for the good of ETH and the community.
