Testing Restaking on the Holesky Testnet

Testnet vs Mainnet Differences

• Withdraw (Escrow) Period:
  • All funds unstaked from EigenLayer Testnet go through a delay (escrow period) of 25 blocks (roughly 5 minutes) before being able to be withdrawn.
  • Liquid tokens and Native Restaking funds unstaked from EigenLayer Mainnet will go through a 14-day escrow period before being able to be withdrawn.
• Testnet includes the Slashing and Operator Sets upgrade. Please see ELIP-002: Slashing via Unique Stake & Operator Sets for more information.
