 ### Process deposit
 
-Deposits cannot be processed into the beacon chain until the Eth1 block in which they were deposited or any of its descendants is added to the beacon chain `state.eth1_data`. This takes _a minimum_ of `ETH1_FOLLOW_DISTANCE` Eth1 blocks (~4 hours) plus `EPOCHS_PER_ETH1_VOTING_PERIOD * SLOTS_PER_EPOCH` slots (~3.4 hours). Once the requisite Eth1 data is added, the deposit will normally be added to a beacon chain block and processed into the `state.validators` within an epoch or two. The validator is then in a queue to be activated.
