Description

🚀 Feature Request

Problem to be solved

When a validator deposit of the full 32 ether is recognised on the beacon chain after 2048 blocks on the eth1 side have passed, the validator is assigned an index and enters the activation queue.

Proposed Solution

Use this index, and the validator index of the most recently activated validator to display the distance to the front of the activation queue.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Comparing validator index to total active validators. This isn't accurate as there are 5.5k voluntarily exited validators already, so we would think the queue is longer than it actually is.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating where validator deposits are recognized and activation-queue data is exposed, then trace how the most recently activated validator is identified. Done means displaying the distance to the queue front when both validator indices are known.
