- Vitalik Buterin suggested changes to miners evaluation shceme.
- ETH/USD is hovering at $170.00, the upside potential is limited.
The creator of Ethereum Vitalik Buterin proposed to change validators’ renumeration scheme after the transition to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. The proposal published on GitHub implies that PoS validators will get an annual return on the amount of 18.1%, provided that they validate 1 000 000 ETH. The higher the amount of coins, the lower the rate is. Thus, 134 217 728 ETH will bring them only 1.56% of annual return with the maximum annual issuance set at 2 097 152 ETH.
He also noted that the rates of return do not include the revenues from validating transactions, which means that the actual return of validators might be several percents higher.
