The queue is at a two-year high, and the current wait for both new entries and full exits is over two weeks, due to a protocol-level cap on deposits and withdrawals processed per slot. The report also covers eth.limo disclosing that the case has cost the ENS ecosystem around $250,000 in legal expenses, and Safe launching a Positions widget that shows DeFi holdings alongside wallet balances. ## Article news - September 5, 2025 The Ethereum validator entry queue has now surpassed the exit queue with over 900k ETH queued to enter the beacon chain. Validator entry queue overtakes exits. ETH LIMO reveals its legal battles. Safe integrates DeFi positions. Superfluid approves $SUP transferability. The Ethereum validator entry queue has now surpassed the exit queue, holding a lead of more than 140,000 ETH. Data from validatorqueue.com shows that nearly 1 million ETH is queued to enter the beacon chain, compared to roughly 815,000 ETH awaiting withdrawal. Over 35 million ETH, representing 29% of the total supply, is now staked. Just two months ago, in July 2025, withdrawals were outpacing deposits. The entry queue is now at a two-year high. The queue comes from a protocol-level cap on the number of deposits and withdrawals that can be processed per slot. As a result, the current wait time for both new entries and full exits is over two weeks. Eth.limo, an ENS gateway that lets users access .eth domains over HTTPS, disclosed that its co-founders Ben and Sam Gibbs were subpoenaed by the FBI in August 2024 as part of the U.S. Tornado Cash trial. Ben was later compelled to testify at Roman Storm’s trial in July 2025. In December 2024, eth.limo requested support from the ENS DAO to cover legal costs but was unable to reveal details at the time. With the trial now over, the team revealed that the case has already cost the ENS ecosystem around $250,000 in legal expenses. Eth.limo noted that ongoing and future legal proceedings remain unpredictable and could deplete its resources, putting continued support for the gateway at risk. Safe launched Positions, a new feature in its smart wallet that lets users track all their DeFi holdings across major protocols and chains. Previously, assets deployed in DeFi protocols weren’t visible in Safe. With the new Positions widget, users get a unified view of both wallet balances and active DeFi positions. Each position can be expanded for a detailed breakdown, with data powered by the Zerion API. The feature shows positions from DeFi protocols such as Morpho, Aave, Superfluid, Lido, and Ethena. Safe is the largest smart contract wallet provider, with more than $100 billion in assets held on Safes. Superfluid governance has approved a proposal to enable SUP token transferability by the end of November 2025. SUP, the native governance token of the streaming payments platform, has already seen over 8% of its supply streamed to more than 40,000 users. The proposal passed with the support of 1,338 voters. The token transferability event aims to advance protocol decentralization and governance.
