以太坊（ETH）看涨者可能会努力争取动力，但质押数据显示出有趣的发展

以太坊于 2022 年 9 月切换了工作量证明共识算法，正式过渡到像卡尔达诺这样的权益证明网络。

Ethereum (ETH) price might be trading in a narrow range above $2,400, but other on-chain data points to interesting developments.

以太坊 (ETH) 价格可能在 2,400 美元以上的窄幅区间内交易，但其他链上数据表明了有趣的发展。

While ETH sellers are capping gains at press time, IntoTheBlock data shows that nearly 30% of all circulating ETH has been staked.

尽管截至发稿时 ETH 卖家正在限制收益，但 IntoTheBlock 数据显示，所有流通 ETH 中近 30% 已被质押。

Specifically, IntoTheBlock analysts noted on October 8 that 28.9% of all ETH has been staked. At this level, more holders are committing to tie their stash. The figure is up from 23.8% recorded in January 2024. Of this amount, over 15.3% of ETH has been staked for more than three years.

具体来说，IntoTheBlock 分析师在 10 月 8 日指出，28.9% 的 ETH 已被质押。在这个水平上，更多的持有者承诺捆绑他们的藏品。这一数字高于 2024 年 1 月记录的 23.8%。其中，超过 15.3% 的 ETH 已经质押了三年多。

As a quick background, Ethereum transitioned from a proof-of-work consensus algorithm in September 2022, officially becoming a proof-of-stake network like Cardano. The migration did away with energy-intensive miners who were replaced by validators on the platform.

作为一个简单的背景，以太坊于 2022 年 9 月从工作量证明共识算法转型，正式成为像卡尔达诺一样的权益证明网络。这次迁移消除了能源密集型矿工，取而代之的是平台上的验证者。

Parallel data from Etherscan shows that over 1 million network validators have cumulatively locked in more than 34.4 million ETH. Each validator earns an APR of 3.3%, a non-compounding annual yield that falls depending on the amount locked.

Etherscan 的并行数据显示，超过 100 万个网络验证者已累计锁定超过 3440 万个 ETH。每个验证者的年利率为 3.3%，非复利年收益率根据锁定的金额而下降。

To become a validator on the Ethereum network, users must lock at least 32 ETH and operate a node that ensures the network operates every day of the week without downtime. There are penalties for validators who collude to, for example, confirm invalid transactions or attempt to take over the chain in a majority attack.

要成为以太坊网络上的验证者，用户必须锁定至少 32 个 ETH 并运行一个节点，以确保网络一周中的每一天都在不间断运行。例如，验证者串通确认无效交易或试图在多数攻击中接管链的行为将受到处罚。

That Ethereum Is Attracting More Validators Despite Prices Dropping Is An Endorsement Of The Platform’S Long-Term Prospects

尽管价格下跌，以太坊仍吸引了更多验证者，这是对该平台长期前景的认可

It’s worth noting that Ethereum is attracting more validators despite prices contracting from Q1 2024 highs of around $4,100 to as low as $2,100 in early August. This development can be seen as an endorsement of the platform’s long-term prospects.

值得注意的是，尽管以太坊价格从 2024 年第一季度约 4,100 美元的高点回落至 8 月初的低至 2,100 美元，但它正在吸引更多验证者。这一发展可以被视为对该平台长期前景的认可。

Presently, Ethereum remains the second largest platform after Bitcoin and the only other crypto project after Bitcoin to get the node for a spot ETF from the United States SEC. However, ETH remains under pressure below $2,800, dashing hope.

目前，以太坊仍然是继比特币之后的第二大平台，也是继比特币之后唯一获得美国 SEC 现货 ETF 节点的加密项目。然而，ETH 仍面临 2800 美元下方的压力，令希望破灭。

EIP 7781 Seeks To Boost Ethereum Scalability

EIP 7781 寻求提升以太坊可扩展性

Meanwhile, Ethereum developers continue to build, looking to enhance user experience and improve scalability. Following the Dencun upgrade in March 2024, a new Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) 7781 was recently introduced.

与此同时，以太坊开发人员继续构建，希望增强用户体验并提高可扩展性。继 2024 年 3 月 Dencun 升级之后，最近推出了新的以太坊改进提案（EIP）7781。

The proposer aims to further boost Ethereum’s processing speeds by reducing slot times and increasing the blob capacity. Specifically, the goal is to eventually reduce the slot time from around 12 seconds to 8 seconds, which could increase the transaction throughput by over 30%.

提议者的目标是通过减少时隙时间和增加 blob 容量来进一步提高以太坊的处理速度。具体来说，目标是最终将时隙时间从大约 12 秒减少到 8 秒，这可以将交易吞吐量提高 30% 以上。

If this proposal is implemented, decentralized exchanges like Curve or Uniswap will stand to benefit. Of note is that users will also see the cost of mainnet transactions decrease due to the higher throughput. While the proposal is generally welcomed, solo stakers will need to acquire new gear and strengthen their internet connections.

如果该提案得以实施，Curve 或 Uniswap 等去中心化交易所将受益。值得注意的是，由于吞吐量较高，用户还将看到主网交易成本降低。虽然该提案受到普遍欢迎，但单独的权益持有者将需要购买新装备并加强他们的互联网连接。
