I’ve been thinking about EIP-8361 and EIP-8363. Ethereum has long faced an interesting trade-off: more staking strengthens network security, but that security has historically been supported by ongoing $ETH issuance. Even ~2% annual inflation becomes a meaningful cost over time, ultimately affecting every $ETH holder. That makes gradual issuance reduction an interesting direction. But there’s a deeper shift happening. Restaking, re-restaking, and the broader staking ecosystem have developed their own network effects. Security is no longer dependent entirely on L1 issuance. That could change Ethereum’s long-term economics. If proposals like EIP-8361 and EIP-8363 move forward, they could help create a healthier balance between liquid and staked ETH. Strong staking protocols should survive by providing genuine value, while weaker models naturally lose relevance. To me, the bigger signal isn’t simply lower issuance. It’s Ethereum becoming confident enough to let its growing ecosystem shoulder more of the security burden instead of relying primarily on perpetual inflation. $ETH #CPIToResetFedBets #AIMemorySelloffEases
