Vitalik Buterin responds to concerns about Ethereum’s 45-day exit queue

Vitalik Buterin addressed concerns regarding Ethereum’s 45-day exit queue, highlighting its importance for network security despite its suboptimal design. Currently, there are over 2.5 million ETH in the exit queue and 35.6 million ETH staked, showing strong validator commitment.

Michael Marcantonio from Galaxy Digital criticized the lengthy exit process; however, Buterin likened it to the responsibility of soldiers. The ecosystem remains robust with over 1 million active validators despite external pressures.
