This is fine in a vacuum where no one needs the money they make staking, but someone who is not rich is presumably staking to make money that they will spend on food/clothing/shelter. The wealthy can stake indefinitely.
- dlubarov 4y agoLockup periods aren't really inherent to PoS though. In Eth2 exits are rate limited, but they should be quick under normal conditions, and only delayed (for security reasons) if many stakers try to exit at once. For even greater liquidity, one can use a paltform like Lido, and just sell stETH at any time.
