Exit Staking

Validators participating in EigenLayer Restake have their ETH stored on the Ethereum consensus layer. After exiting the validator and completing the consensus layer withdrawal, the principal will be returned to the EigenPod and recorded in the Restake account. By using `QUEUE WITHDRAWAL`, your ETH principal will enter a 7-day withdrawal queue. Once the queue is completed, the ETH will be transferred from your Restake account to your personal wallet.

📄️ Step 1: Exit Staking

To unstake and withdraw the staked ETH, you first need to initiate a validator exit request, which will place the validator into the exit queue.

📄️ Step 2: Unrestaking and withdraw ETH

Visit the EigenLayer official website. After the staked ETH is returned to the Eigenpod, start the EigenLayer to personal wallet withdrawal queue using QUEUE WITHDRAWAL. Once the queue (7 days) is completed, complete the ETH redemption through Withdraw.
