Ethereum staking and want to know about the bonding period. How long does it take for the staked Ethereum to become active and start earning rewards? What is the required lock-in time for the funds?

This extended period is due to EigenLayer's mandatory escrow or holding period.

For restaking, the bonding time is equivalent to the standard bonding time required for staking ETH. This duration is approximately two days.

In contrast, the unbonding time for restaking differs significantly from the regular unstaking process of ETH.
