What happens to my tokens when I stake through MetaMask?

Does this article need to be translated?

The answer differs here based on which of our services you are using:

ETH staked through MetaMask Pooled Staking is added to a pool alongside other stakers' ETH until the pool reaches the 32 ETH total required to run a validator. To represent your contribution to the pool, the app allots you a share, which is subsequently used to distribute rewards proportionally. Once the pool reaches 32 ETH, our underlying Consensys Staking infrastructure automatically sends it to the Beacon Chain to spin up a new validator.

From there, your ETH will remain staked until you choose to unstake some or all of it.
