What to do if your wallet is compromised while staking ETH

If you suspect your wallet has been compromised while staking ETH, it's important to act quickly to secure your funds. This article outlines the steps you should take and explains the limitations of what can be done in this situation.

Understanding the situation

• Pooled staking is self-custodial, meaning we do not have control over your staked funds.

• It is not possible to change the withdrawal address for your staked ETH.
