EIP-7002 introduces a mechanism for stakers to withdraw validators from the Beacon Chain using withdrawal credentials, decoupling validator signing keys from withdrawal keys. This separation enhances security and trustlessness in staking operations, particularly benefiting solo stakers and distributed validator setups. By allowing withdrawal credentials to control staked ETH, it reduces trust assumptions in delegated staking and improves the overall staking user experience on Ethereum.
