The Shanghai upgrade will give solo stakers the ability to withdraw and unlock their 32 ETH and earned rewards, and exit the network.

Unstaking your 32 ETH as a validator requires waiting in the ‘exit queue’ which is determined by Ethereum’s ‘*’. After a validator passes through the queue, it enters the ‘withdrawal period’ which varies as a function of the number of validators that want to withdraw at the same time. This will not be instant and will vary, it could take hours, weeks, or months.

*The churn limit is a variable that defines the maximum number of validators that can be exited per epoch (every 6.4 minutes).
