EIP-7514 to Included in Ethereum Cancun Upgrade, Slowing Down $ETH Staking Growth

Ethereum core developer Tim Beiko summarized the latest Ethereum execution layer meeting, which discussed topics such as the devnet-8 status update and the inclusion of EIP-7514 as part of the Cancun upgrade.

EIP-7514 aims to limit the maximum validator growth rate from exponential growth to linear growth through the Epoch Churn Limit.

EIP-7514 will be integrated into the Cancun upgrade, setting the validator activation queue's upper limit, Max Epoch Churn Limit, to 8 without affecting the withdrawal queue. The purpose is to slow down the growth of ETH staking rates to allow time for designing a better validator reward scheme. Previously, this variable was derived from "total number of validators/65536" and is currently approximately 12/epoch.
