How long will my staking request take?
When 32 Ether tare staked, a new validator node needs to be activated on the Ethereum Proof-of-Stake network. Because only a limited number of validators can be activated per Epoch (which lasts approximately 6.4 minutes) a queue may build up if there is a higher demand for new validators to be activated than the network supports. The exact validator activation rate depends on the number of already active validators. More details can be found here. The expected waiting time and number of validators in the queue is updated here.
