DescriptionEIP-8361 "Tapered Issuance Burn" would progressively burn validator consensus rewards as the staked-ETH ratio rises, submitted Aug 4, 2026 just before the Aug 6 Hegotá proposal deadline and met with immediate opposition (e.g. Aave founder Stani Kulechov). At All Core Devs (ACD) calls, core devs triage each proposal into "Considered for Inclusion" (CFI) or "Declined for Inclusion" (DFI); until then it stays in "Proposed for Inclusion" (PFI). This resolves YES if EIP-8361 is officially marked EITHER Considered for Inclusion (CFI) OR Declined for Inclusion (DFI) for the Hegotá upgrade on or before Aug 31, 2026 23:59 UTC. Resolves NO if no such decision is recorded by then (e.g. it remains PFI, is withdrawn, or is never scheduled).
- 1. Specificity: Any official CFI or DFI classification for Hegotá recorded in the ethereum/pm repo or official ACD/ACDC call notes counts as YES.
- 2. Exclusion: Remaining in PFI status, a discussion with no recorded status change, or a decision for any fork other than Hegotá does NOT count as YES.
- 3. Source Hierarchy: ethereum/pm GitHub (github.com/ethereum/pm) priority. Official ACD/ACDC call notes secondary. eipsinsight.com tertiary.
- 4. Timing: The decision must be recorded before Aug 31, 2026 23:59 UTC. Post-deadline resolves NO.
- 5. Cancellation Rule: This tracks a governance status decision, not a shipped feature. If a CFI/DFI decision is recorded then later revised before the deadline, it resolves YES based on the first recorded decision.
