Staking Exits

Definition

Staking exits describe the process by which participants withdraw their previously locked digital assets from a proof-of-stake blockchain network. This action removes the staked assets from contributing to network validation and security, often resulting in the cessation of staking rewards. The timing and conditions for exiting staking vary significantly across different protocols, with some networks imposing unbonding periods or withdrawal queues. These exits can impact network liquidity and the overall security posture of the blockchain.
