When Can You Withdraw Your Staked ETH from Ethereum Proof of Stake?
Many people ask: When Can You Withdraw Your Staked ETH from Ethereum Proof of Stake?
Pre-merge (Beacon): the Ether locked up is only unlocked after the post-Merge Shanghai upgrade.
The Shanghai upgrade will happen 6 to 12 months after the merge.
After this upgrade, possible to withdraw, but you have to queue.
Only 6 validators may exit per epoch’
i.e. maximum 1350 per day (out of more than 400 000)’
This rate limit adjusts depending on the total ETH staked and prevents a mass exodus of funds.
It prevents a potential attacker from using their stake to commit a flashable offense and exiting their entire staking balance in the same epoch before the protocol can enforce the slashing penalty.
