June 19 (Cointime) - Ethereum core developers are considering raising the minimum amount of Ether required to become a validator from 32 ETH to 2048 ETH. This proposal was made during a consensus meeting by Ethereum Foundation researcher Michael Neuder, who believes that the increase will make the network more efficient over time.

Neuder also suggested auto-compounding validator rewards, which would allow validators to earn more money on their staked ETH. However, the proposal has received mixed reactions from the crypto community, with some users concerned that it could lead to a more centralized network.
