Terms & Concepts
- Proof-of-Stake (PoS): A consensus mechanism where validators stake cryptocurrency to secure the network, validate transactions, and earn rewards.
- Validator Exit Queue: A system-managed waiting line that regulates how quickly staked validators can exit and withdraw their ETH.
- Validator Entry Queue: A queue that manages new validator activations, limiting how many can join the network within a set time frame.
