The EigenLayer community is discussing draft proposal ELIP-018, which would introduce a framework called RETIRE to give Restaking users a terminal, irreversible way to exit. The proposal is designed to help users avoid unnecessary slashing during the withdrawal process. It has not been approved or implemented by the DAO at this stage. According to the draft, the Restaking system spans multiple layers of obligations involving stakers, operators, and AVSs, and a complicated exit process may discourage participation. A clearly defined final exit route, the proposal argues, could reduce uncertainty and simplify accounting treatment across the protocol.
