The Ethereum Foundation researcher proposed a validator income redistribution scheme that allows validators at the consensus layer to redirect a portion of staking rewards to designated smart contracts, supporting public goods funding and security auditing organizations. The scheme requires adjustments to signal transmission and fund allocation logic.

Odaily Planet Daily News: At EthCC, Ethereum Foundation researcher Devansh Mehta proposed a validator income redistribution scheme. It would allow validators to issue signals at the consensus layer to independently decide to redirect a certain proportion of staking rewards to a specified smart contract, rather than extracting them entirely to a personal wallet. The recipient could be public goods funding platforms such as Gitcoin or Octant, security auditing firms, or core protocol research teams. The proposal involves two execution-layer changes: signal transmission for the redirected validator proportion, and the implementation of the logic for transferring funds to the specified contract.
