TechEthereum’s new 2,048 ETH staking rule could lock up rewards longer than expected

Ethereum is considering EIP-8148, which would let compounding validators choose the ETH balance that must remain before excess rewards enter the automatic withdrawal sweep. The draft sets a customizable threshold from 32 ETH to 2,048 ETH, potentially delaying reward withdrawals, while existing rules for principal withdrawals would remain unchanged.
