EIP-8363 would progressively burn validator rewards as the staking ratio rises, reaching a 0% staking yield above a 50% staking ratio, limiting issuance-driven stake growth while preserving incentives for validators to perform their duties. Supporters argue that lower issuance would reduce unnecessary dilution, strengthen ETH’s monetary premium and maintain a large unstaked constituency capable of resisting validator capture. Critics contend that the modest inflation reduction may not justify the risks to staking products, institutional demand and the LST-based DeFi economy. Its equilibrium and prospects for adoption remain highly uncertain.

This report examines 2,114 tokens that crossed $50M in circulating market cap since January 2020 to quantify the realities of liquid token investing. Only 4.1% outperformed BTC, the median token lost 97%, and successive token classes reached a 90% loss faster. Most importantly, recent entrants retained roughly the same downside as the 2020 class while offering far less upside. The report then outlines what these findings mean for allocators and concludes that, while the investable universe has become exceptionally narrow, this also increases the value of fundamental research and the opportunity to identify the small number of tokens with durable demand, visible cash flows, and strong tokenholder alignment.

The most expensive input to a frontier AI model has become data whose origin labs can prove and attribute. Frontier labs have effectively exhausted the freely scrapeable internet. What remains is either proprietary and bespoke, or undocumented and legally risky, and the cost of getting provenance wrong runs into the billions in litigation exposure.
