  • exit queue: broken down between
    • exit: how long between exiting a validator and the validator being out of the actve set & earning rewards. This is the exit_estimate field
    • withdrawal: how long between the validator exiting the active set and its balance being swept back to the withdrawal address. This is the withdrawal_estimate field. Min and Max are due to the fact that this is a round robin mechanism
