THINKING ABOUT STAKING?
Staking Withdrawals
As of the Shanghai/Capella upgrade withdrawals have been enabled on the Beacon Chain Launchpad. This Ethereum Improvement Proposal enables rewards to be automatically withdrawn to the execution layer, and also provides a way for exited validators to unlock their entire balance.
Enabling Withdrawals(Current Validators)
For your validator withdrawals of any kind, a withdrawal address must be provided and registered to your account on the Beacon Chain. Proceed to connect your initial deposit wallet and withdrawal wallet to automatically set up your withdrawal address. Once an address is chosen and submitted to the Beacon Chain, this cannot be undone or changed again. Double-check ownership and accuracy of the address provided before submitting.
How is Ethereum scaling?
Several upgrades are underway that will make Ethereum more scalable, secure, and sustainable. These upgrades will improve Ethereum while seamlessly continuing on the chain of today. Here's more on the different upgrades:
Proof-of-stake and the Beacon Chain
Ethereum is secured by proof-of-stake, although this was not always the case. The Beacon Chain was the first step to establishing a PoS consensus layer on Ethereum, launching in parallel to Mainnet in December 2020. This allowed participants to start staking their ETH and prepare the network for the formal transition from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake via The Merge.
The Merge
The Merge upgrade officially brought proof-of-stake to Ethereum on September 15, 2022, simultaneously deprecating proof-of-work. This prepared the chain for future scaling upgrades such as Danksharding by bringing proof-of-stake consensus together with Mainnet, while simultaneously reducing energy consumption by over 99.9%.

Exiting a validator requires a signed message to be sent from your validator client. The exit process details are different for each client. These links are for each specific client:
