Pre-Signed Exit Messages

Pre-signed exit messages are of critical importance to the security of Northstake validator market.

Node operators are required to:

• provide a mechanism to retrieve validator exit messages
• make validator exit messages available in a timely way
• ensure that validator exit messages are cryptographically valid and adhere to Ethereum specifications

Northstake securely stores pre-signed exit messages and provides them to users upon demand via UI or API.
