What happened
On August 6, Lido's representative asked the authors to remove the staking reward burn from the Hegotá upgrade, two days after it surfaced.
Confirmed
Global impact / market context
Removing the burn changes how much ETH staking reward is destroyed, which affects rewards kept by stakers, validator economics, and demand for holding ETH.
Analyst inference
The request followed two days after the burn surfaced, showing stakeholder pushback can shape Ethereum upgrade content before final inclusion, so ETH holders watch validator reward rules.
Analyst inference

- Lido's representative proposed pulling the staking reward burn from the Hegotá upgrade. Proposed
