MetaMask has started exiting Ethereum validators affected by a security incident in part of its infrastructure.
MetaMask says it has found no immediate threat to its wallets. The staking service is non-custodial, and client withdrawal keys are not controlled by MetaMask.
Lido says the affected validators are already exiting and expects the last of them to exit by October 7. Completing the exit, withdrawal and re-entry process may take around 45 days. During that period, some staking rewards may be missed and downtime penalties may apply.
The incident is still under investigation. What has been confirmed is an infrastructure security issue affecting MetaMask-operated validators โ not a compromise of MetaMask wallets or confirmed loss of stETH holder funds.
