Ethereum Liquid Staking Providers Commit to Self-Limit Rule to Ensure Decentralization

  • Wechat scan to share

Several Ethereum liquid staking providers, including Rocket Pool, StakeWise, Stader Labs, Diva Staking, and Puffer Finance, have committed to or are in the process of committing to a self-limit rule that promises not to own more than 22% of the Ethereum staking market. This move is aimed at ensuring the decentralization of the Ethereum network. The proposal was put forward by Ethereum core developer Superphiz in May 2022, and the self-limit was set at 22% because at least four major entities would have to collude for the chain to reach finalization.

However, the largest Ethereum liquid staking provider, Lido Finance, voted against self-limiting back in June, and currently dominates the Ethereum staking market with 32.4% of all staked Ether. The proposal has received mixed reactions from the Ethereum community, with some describing Lido's market share dominance as "disgusting and selfish."

  • South Korea plans to issue new guidelines in Q3 to lift ban on institutional cryptocurrency investments

    South Korean financial regulatory agency announced on Wednesday that it plans to release comprehensive guidelines for institutional cryptocurrency investments in the third quarter. The Financial Services Commission made this announcement during a meeting with local cryptocurrency industry experts. While investment guidelines for listed companies and professional investors are expected to be introduced in the third quarter, the Financial Services Commission stated that its goal is to release investment guidelines for non-profit organizations and cryptocurrency exchanges in April. The Financial Services Commission first announced in January that it would gradually lift the ban on institutional investors investing in cryptocurrencies. Last month, the regulatory agency revealed that it intends to first allow charities and universities to sell their cryptocurrency assets in the second quarter. The upcoming detailed guidelines further solidify South Korea's shift in stance towards cryptocurrencies, no longer strictly opposing the entry of crypto assets into traditional financial markets.

  • Utah Bitcoin Bill Passes State Senate, But Key Provisions Are Deleted

    The Bitcoin bill in Utah has passed the state Senate, but the core provisions of the bill have been removed. The provision was originally intended to make Utah the first state in the United States to have its own Bitcoin reserve. The "HB230 Blockchain and Digital Innovation Amendment" bill now only provides basic custody protection to Utah citizens, giving them rights to mine Bitcoin, run nodes, and participate in staking. On March 7, the bill passed with 19 votes in favor, 7 votes against, and 3 abstentions, and will now be sent to Utah Governor Spencer Cox for signature into law.

    Are we finally ready for a gas limit increase?

    There has been growing discussion around the possibility of increasing Ethereum’s gas throughput, either by raising the gas limit or reducing slot time. The key argument in favor of this is that the hardware requirements for running a validator have steadily decreased over the past four years.
