A fundamental developer of the Ethereum ecosystem said that since the debut of the Beacon Chain on December 1, 2020, there have only been 226 validators sliced out of a total of 524,060 validators, which is barely 0.04% of the total. This information was provided by the developer. Slashing happens when a validator breaks the rules that govern the proof-of-stake consensus. This often results in the removal of the validator from the network and the loss of a part of the Ether (ETH) that was pledged as collateral. The Ethereum core developer known as «Superphiz» pointed out these low cutting rates in a tweet on February 23. He said that staking ETH should not be a worry since the probabilities of having it slashed are very low.

According to a 1 March tweet by Messari, the Ethereum [ETH] merge had a huge impact on the state of stakers. Even though the prices of ETH took a hit, staking returns improved from 1% in Q3 to 6% in Q4 of last year.
