The Ethereum Merge Is Almost Here. What Could Go Wrong?

"#Ethereum is officially transitioning to a centralized blockchain on 15 September (the merge). 👇

I got proof. Four entities hold 60% of the network:

🔹 Lido - 31%
🔹 Coinbase - 14.7%
🔹 Kraken - 8.4%
🔹 Binance - 6.7%

✅ TOTAL: 60.8%

Does anyone think this is NOT an issue?"

Crypto domains are seeing a continued lift as the ETH universe prepares for its next major milestone.

I'm not sure if it is technically feasible or not but it would be interesting if there was a protocol level feature where any major staking pool was given less rewards and smaller staking pools / individuals were given artificially more rewards to incentivize distributed behavior.

That said, I'm guessing the major problem is that this is simply too easy to fake and therefore perhaps technically infeasible.
