Does it? It looks to me like the EIP doesn’t discriminate based on the size of each staker.
> # Abstract
>
> This EIP introduces a tapered issuance burn: at each epoch boundary each validator is charged a deduction for every duty it was assigned (attestation, block proposal, sync committee participation), sized as a fraction of the idealised reward for that duty, and the deducted ETH is burned. The burn fraction tapers linearly with the staking ratio, reaching 100% at a fixed saturation balance, so net staking yield declines as more ETH is staked. This removes the yield floor implicit in the current curve, letting the staking market settle where the yield meets the risk premium stakers demand. For a positive premium, this occurs at a staking ratio below 50%, beyond which issuance no longer incentivises further stake growth.
>
> Applied in full at the fork, the burn would reduce yields sharply at today's staking ratio, so the reduction is phased in over an 18-month transition by temporarily raising BASE_REWARD_FACTOR, which scales rewards, penalties, and the burn together. Net yield therefore begins close to today's level and moves gradually to the permanent curve, with the balance between micro-incentives preserved throughout. The taper's shape, however, is in full effect from activation: from day one, issuance no longer rewards growth beyond a 50% staking ratio.

I’m not sure Tom Lee owns any ETH

Do the reverse. Buy USDC on Coinbase and move it onchain. Of course, the wallet you move it to will need to already have some ETH in it, otherwise you won't be able to do anything. So, buy a small amount of ETH on Coinbase first, if need be.

A man who runs a ETH ETF thinks ETH will increase in value in the future and you’re shocked. Lmfao get a grip.

I appreciate the effort, but I feel like you're not actually addressing my questions or points of criticism.
My claim about why I think the proposed EIP fails at protecting solo stakers is the following:
Small solo stakers have higher expenses per ETH secured. In any scenario where profits margin are stretched thin, they will be the first to be pushed out. The proposed EIP doesn't introduce any new mechanisms to protect small solo stakers. You alter the curve and introduce a cap on issuance, but this doesn't do anything to change the fact that small solo stakers have the highest expenses per ETH staked.
You've used the term "market equilibrium" to explain why small solo stakers are protected, but you haven't proposed where this "market equilibrium" will be, you don't appear to have modeled the different potential scenarios and pointed to how small solo stakers are protected at any given levels.
Therefore I've posed the questions:
1 - At what levels of yield/issuance is it no longer profitable to be a solo staker? At 2% yield, at 1.5%, at 1%, at 0.5%?
2 - What makes you feel confident that LSTs/DATs/exchanges/whales/etc would stop adding more stake at any of those levels?

What would convince me is a concrete description of what actually breaks if 60%, 75%, or even 90% of ETH is staked. If high staking participation itself creates a serious protocol failure mode, then we have a strong reason to intervene. But so far most of the arguments I see are about relative returns, dilution, staking-provider economics, and engineering a preferred equilibrium. Those are financial incentive arguments, and perhaps worthwhile ones, but they are not yet evidence that the current issuance curve creates a protocol-level danger. If the claim is that systemic risk continuously increases with the staking ratio, then I think we need to identify the actual failure mechanism and establish that the risk becomes significant enough to justify changing a fundamental part of the protocol.
This is also where I think the protocol maturity and ossification discussion becomes relevant. Ethereum cannot keep every previously settled design decision permanently open for optimization simply because somebody can construct a model in which another set of parameters might perform better. If eventual ossification is a real goal, then as protocol properties mature the burden of proof for reopening them should increase: not merely “would this potentially improve Ethereum?”, but increasingly “is changing Ethereum itself necessary to address a demonstrated problem?” Issuance and monetary policy seem like exactly the kind of properties where stability should eventually carry substantial weight. I'm not arguing that issuance can never change, but before reopening something this fundamental I would want to see a credible failure mode from leaving the current curve alone. So far I see an argument for a potentially preferable economic equilibrium; I still don't see the looming protocol problem that makes changing the existing one necessary.

Yes, because memecoins are more volatile, up as well as down, and much more risky and worth nothing in the ling term. A +50% on a memecoin is much less significant than a +25% on ETH.

Here is a way to visualize how EIP-8363 helps protect solo stakers better than the present curve. The issue solo stakers face is that the current curve slowly erodes them out of the validator set. First, they earn at a slower pace than LSTs. So the share of stake that is owned by LST vs solo stakers will tend to keep growing for ever. But furthermore, after surpassing certain amount of total ETH staked solo stakers don't even receive enough yield to compensate for the inflation of the asset. Which means that not only on relative terms with respect to LSTs they are disappearing, but also on relative terms with respect the total amount of ETH. Solo stakers are the frog on the slowly boiling pot.
This is important for the long-term health of the protocol. If you let this slowly brew for decades you will end up with a captured chain by LSTs.
Here is one way to visualize it. Whenever you have such scenario of shrinking populations you can characterize the rate at which the population disappears by the half-life. This is the same half-life applied to nuclear isotopes. The idea is to calculate how long does it take for solo stakers to be cut in half with respect to the total stake. That measures their disappearance rate, smaller half-lifes are worse, makes solo stakers disappear faster. Here is how the half-life of solo stakers looks under EIP-8363 vs the current curve. And, I have also estimated the effect of future upgrades to the protocol that will help reduce validation costs, to show how it would affect solo stakers under both curves.

The short version of it is that EIP-8363 makes solo staking viable for the long-term and compounds more positively with future protocol upgrades to help increase the viability of solo staking further.
This post is motivated by /u/epic_trader request to explain how solo stakers are protected by this EIP.

Y’all thinking ETH gonna moon is cute. ETH is the red headed step child of Bitcoin you buy because you can’t afford a coin

He doesn't care about eth price his cut from investors money is constant
It's dumb to buy BMNR or MSTR Instead of buying the real BTC or ETH

What’ll gives? XRP is doing 1/6th of the volume of BTC and a 1/3 of ETH?

Interestingly enough, the coin that has "holding it on a CEX" as main use case - XRP - is now almost surpassing BTC on volume.
Crypto remains a clown house. ETH/Ethereum is too serious, too much of an actual blockchain, for this market full of speculators.

> The current issuance curve also responds by decreasing the rewards as the total stake grows.
Per validator, yes. The total does the opposite, issuance grows with the square root of total stake, so every point of ratio adds ETH paid out per year. At 40% staked the annual bill is bigger than at 30, and it keeps growing all the way up. That is what same shape meant, the reward per head thins while the overall bid keeps rising, and no point on the curve stops offering more for the next validator to join. Your falling yield and my growing bill are the same square root read from opposite ends, which is why the curve alone was never the stop. The written one is in the EIP: https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-8363

I think Tom Lee is somebody who manages assets for a company who has provided wild speculation of what the valuation of ETH could be. Similarly he could be a narco terrorist, which is just wild speculation of what he could be.

2nd is the rightful place.
Blow that unfairly launched ETH nonsense away.

Crypto bull run just getting started. ETH jumps to $9k by EOY

ETH is $3k by Friday and $7k by end of September

Asked ai for best altcoins post clarity act/stagflationary post-2027 4 year cycle:
S-Tier ETH, SOL, LINK Systemic pillars; base infrastructure for RWA and AI execution.
A-Tier TAO, ONDO, AAVE, AVAX Custom institutional Subnets, high-yield RWAs, and decentralized AI.
B-Tier SUI, HYPE, XRP, TRX High-performance specialists; emerging payment rails and deep perp order-books.
C-Tier ARB, UNI, ZEC Heavily capped by structural utility limits or aggressive token dilution.
D-Tier BNB, DOT, PUMP Structural decline; losing institutional mindshare or entirely speculative.
Do you agree? My goal is to outperform bitcoin. Though i likely may just fullport MSTR.

Difficult to say for sure, as I don’t know how much of his own personal wealth is tied up in ETH compared to the fees he’s earning year after year? If the latter massively outweighs the former you might be in to something.
