# Deposits

> Returns comprehensive details about all validator deposits processed in the specified slot.

The validator filter is optional; if omitted, results include all deposits processed in the slot.

Results may include *system deposits* — protocol-generated deposits that are not initiated by a user, such as the deposit created when a validator switches to compounding. See [System deposits and withdrawals](/faqs/system-deposits-and-withdrawals) for details.

You can combine this endpoint with:

          $ref: '#/components/schemas/ExecutionLayerAddressDetails'
          description: >
            The address that directly called the deposit contract
            (`msg.sender`). This is the immediate caller — either the user's
            wallet (EOA) or an intermediary contract.

            When the user sends the transaction directly, this equals `tx_from`.
            When the user interacts through a contract (e.g. a multisig, smart
            wallet, or staking service), this is the contract address, not the
            user's wallet.
