A draft proposal to sunset Ethereum's old BLS withdrawal credentials starts from a neat premise: set the initial balance ceiling at 64 ETH, safely above every affected validator, then lower it gradually. Mainnet has already broken that premise. Six active 0x00 validators now hold more than 64 ETH, with a combined 31.31 ETH above the proposed cap.

Ethereum added seven BLS12-381 precompiles in Pectra. In two weeks of fresh call-frame data, five of them were never touched. The other two were called 126 times each, and every call came from the same contract.

That contract was not a staking protocol. It was a small cross-chain bridge minting Wrapped Gonka.
