Wallet upgrade

Wallet type can be found through a Chain explorer. Just find your validator key and check the Withdrawal Address at Deposits tab of your validator keys detail. There are 3 available withdrawal wallet states, recognizable through first 3 letter of the withdrawal credentials:

  • 0x00 - Standard validator with 32 ETH maximum stake - no withdrawal credentials attached to the validator key. This is the default state of the validator key, if no withdrawal wallet was set during key generation
  • 0x01 - Standard validator with 32 ETH maximum stake and withdrawal wallet attached. Staking rewards are distributed automatically to the withdrawal wallet .
  • 0x02 - Compounding validator with ETH stake between 32 and 2048. Staking rewards are withdrawed based on request.
