Ethereum governance proposal would redirect up to 10% of staking rewards to fund ecosystem projects

Summary
A new Ethereum governance proposal suggests allowing validators to redirect up to 10% of their staking rewards to fund ecosystem projects like developer tools, security research, and public infrastructure. The proposal argues that validators are natural long-term stakeholders who benefit when Ethereum becomes more valuable, so they should help bear the cost of shared network work. The initiative raises questions about coordination, incentives, and governance over how funds are allocated.
