Why are my staked Ether locked and how long will this remain? 

Staking on Ethereum was enabled in phase 0 of the Ethereum upgrade to a Proof-of-Stake protocol in December 2020. This was the first in a series of steps to upgrade the Ethereum Blockchain. During phase 1.5, staked Ether is held on a separate Ethereum network (called a Beacon chain) until it merges back into today’s Ethereum network. Staked ether can be withdrawn at the completion of Phase 1.5, currently scheduled for the end of 2022. Please note that this date is provisional, and that Sygnum has no control over this schedule. Rewards are locked until phase 1.5 commences, along with the initially staked Ether
