For this operation to work, the validators must be active on the consensus layer and share the same withdrawal address. The withdrawal address must match the address sending the transaction, as the withdrawal address controls this consolidation request operation.

For a consolidation to work, the validator you're moving from must still be active (not exited), and the request must come from the same wallet that controls the withdrawal address of that validator. This is to ensure that only the person who owns the validator can approve moving its balance. The withdrawal address of the target validator (the one being consolidated into) does not have to match the withdrawal address of the source validator (the one being converted).

While it has always been possible to deposit additional funds into an existing validator, this practice will likely become more common with the new compounding validator type. Previously, 32 ETH was the only possible maximum effective ETH balance, and most well-behaved validators' balances stayed near 32 ETH. After Pectra, we will see a wider distribution of validator balances on the consensus layer. Every integer increment in your validator's balance increases your potential rewards. For type 0 and type 1 validators, this caps at 32 ETH, but for type 2 validators, it caps at 2048 ETH. For example, if you have a type 2 validator with 44 ETH and want to stake an additional ETH, you can deposit it to increase your rewards. New deposits or top-ups must include at least 1 ETH to be valid.
