Eurozone manufacturing activity reached its highest level in nearly four years in March, driven by supply chain disruptions due to Middle Eastern conflicts, which contributed to delivery delays and boosted overall growth indicators.

New export orders stabilized after eight consecutive months of contraction, while input prices climbed to their highest since October 2022, influenced by rising oil and energy prices. The output index increased for the third consecutive month, reaching a seven-month high.
However, business confidence fell to a five-month low due to the impact of the Middle Eastern conflicts.

π Ethereum Foundation Proposes Validator Revenue Redistribution Plan
#Ethereum #ValidatorRevenueRedistribution #VRR #EthCC #stakingrewards #smartcontracts #publicgoods #Gitcoin #Octant #securityaudit #coreprotocol #EthereumFoundation #decentralization #ecosystemgovernance #blockchain #ETH
Ethereum Foundation researcher Devansh Mehta introduced a Validator Revenue Redistribution (VRR) plan at the EthCC[9] conference. According to Foresight News, this proposal allows validators to signal at the consensus layer to autonomously redirect a portion of their staking rewards to designated smart contracts instead of withdrawing all to personal wallets. The recipients could include public goods funding platforms like Gitcoin and Octant, security audit organizations, or core protocol research teams.
The plan involves two changes at the execution layer: signaling the validator's redirection percentage and implementing the logic for fund allocation to specified contracts. Devansh emphasized that VRR is not mandatory but serves as a tool empowering validators to convert part of their earnings into a funding source for Ethereum's evolution. This approach aims to reduce reliance on centralized donations while enabling validators to directly participate in ecosystem governance and security development.#Ethereum #ValidatorRevenueRedistribution #VRR #EthCC #stakingrewards #smartcontracts #publicgoods #Gitcoin #Octant #securityaudit #coreprotocol #EthereumFoundation #decentralization #ecosystemgovernance #blockchain #ETH
