• On the validator side, 0 validator requests were created this week

• A current pool of 65,797 is available for users to perform fast mETH withdrawals.
• HeadRoom measures liquidity relative to our buffer size, and is calculated using the following formula: Aave Available Liquidity / Buffer Size. Due to the after effects of the rsETH situation, Aave's ETH available liquidity remains zero. As a result, our HeadRoom currently sits at infinity.

About Our Buffer Pool Upgrade

The Buffer Pool upgrade allocates ~20% of protocol TVL to Aave as ETH supply, earning interest in addition to native ETH staking yield. This design uses Aave as a liquid backstop for the Buffer Pool, supporting efficient mETH-to-ETH redemptions, typically within ~24 hours under normal conditions.
