Beacon Chain Validator States - Since mid-July, the validator set has continued to be dominated by voluntary exits (Active Exiting, Exited Unslashed) and ongoing withdrawals (Withdrawal Possible). However, since the start of August, withdrawals have decreased by around 10K, signalling a possible slowdown in the exit trend or renewed validator stability.

Following the Pectra upgrade, validator consolidation appears to have peaked. The slowdown in withdrawals indicates the restructuring phase is largely complete, with inflows stabilizing.
