The daily (bars) and cumulative (lines) number of voluntary exits, and slashing events taking place within the active validator set. These events can be characterized as follows:

• Voluntary Exit 🔵 where a validator opts to cease participating in consensus, and enters the exit queue. These validator no longer propose or attest to blocks, but the ETH stake cannot yet be withdrawn.

• Slashing 🔴 in the event of malicious behavior where the protocol forcibly ejects a validator from the pool for misbehavior such as proposing, or attesting to invalid blocks, or non-consensus chainsplits.
