The Ethereum core development team has decided to incorporate the proposed change outlined in EIP-7251 into the Pectra update, expected to be scheduled by the end of 2024. This development, if implemented, would allow individual validators to maintain an effective balance between 32 and 2048 ETH, instead of the current 32 ETH limit. This proposal is expected to reduce operational burdens for stakeholders by decreasing the required number of validators, currently exceeding 900,000.
