The possibilities include a tiered system (ranging from 10% to 20%) or a flat 20% global tariff. The White House remains tight-lipped, but Trump claims to have "decided" on a particular approach. There still remains uncertainty regarding tariffs on China, Canada, and Mexico.

On April 2nd, the Ethereum researcher mikeneuder.eth put forward EIP-7922. The purpose of this is to improve the Ethereum validator exit queue, enhance the exit flexibility and efficiency, and ensure the security of the system. It is reported that currently, Ethereum adopts a fixed exit limit for each epoch (approximately 16 exits), which ensures economic security (by controlling the number of exits to prevent security degradation). However, when the demand for exits surges, validators need to wait for a long time, increasing liquidity risks and financial costs. EIP-7922 proposes to dynamically adjust the exit quantity based on recent actual exit situations (for example, if the exit quantity has been low in the past two weeks, more exits can be allowed currently, thereby reducing waiting times), replacing the fixed limit. This proposal is currently in the draft stage.
