Ethereum's staker revenue is on a slow descent, with September's total at $174 million, down from its March peak of $247 million. This trend mirrors broader crypto market sentiment.
Staker revenue has been gradually declining since March, reflecting reduced on-chain activity and lower overall market enthusiasm. September's staker revenue of $174 million dwarfs the $35.5 million generated from transaction fees, highlighting a significant reliance on the block subsidy.
The validator landscape continues to expand despite the revenue dip. Ethereum now boasts 1.09 million validators, showcasing growing participation in the network's security. This increase in validators comes even as individual rewards decrease, demonstrating continued faith in Ethereum's long-term prospects.

All in Bits: “AiB has uncovered cause for serious security concerns with Cosmos Hub's Liquid Staking Module (LSM).
Timeline:
* Aug 2021: LSM development begins, led by Iqlusion & Zaki Manian
* Jul 2022: Oak Security audit reveals critical vulnerabilities; North Korean devs tasked with fixes
* Mar 2023: FBI informs Zaki of DPRK involvement
* Apr 2023: Despite notification from FBI, Zaki promotes LSM as "finished" and without disclosure to the Cosmos Hub community and pushes the LSM Signaling Proposal on chain
* Sep 2023: LSM integrated into Hub, 19 months post-audit
Key Concerns:
* Majority of LSM code written by North Korean agents
* The "LSM" is not a standalone module but a set of modifications to the existing staking/distribution/ slashing modules, potentially affecting all staked ATOM
* Vulnerabilities allowing slashing evasion persist
* 19 months of unaudited code changes
* Material misrepresentation by Zaki Manian & Iqlusion
* Lack of transparency from ICF, Stride Labs, Informal Systems
Recommendations:
* Immediate fix of the major staking vulnerability of the LSM
* Immediate, comprehensive LSM audit
* Full disclosure of DPRK involvement discovery timelines
* ICF blacklist of involved parties
* New audit & oversight protocols for ICF-funded projects
This breach undermines Cosmos Hub's security and integrity. AtomOne remains committed to these principles.”
