Restaking

Deposit ETH or a liquid staking token with Ether.fi, KelpDAO, or Renzo to receive a liquid restaking token.

Restaking integrations take ETH or a liquid staking token and deposit it into a protocol that layers additional yield and additional risk on top of base Ethereum staking. Every current restaking integration returns a liquid restaking token (eETH, rsETH or wrsETH, ezETH), so yield.xyz exposes restaking as a single section with the public type restaking.

Liquid staking tokens and liquid restaking tokens share the same underlying mechanic: your balance either rebases or its exchange rate against the deposit token rises as rewards accrue. See Staking types for that concept; this section covers restaking-specific mechanics.

Protocols

Protocol	Networks	Deposit → receive	Exit model
Ether.fi	Ethereum	ETH, stETH, wBETH, or cbETH → eETH	Exit request, cooldown, then a WITHDRAW pending action
KelpDAO	Ethereum, Base, Optimism, Arbitrum	stETH, sfrxETH, or ETHx on Ethereum; ETH on the L2s → rsETH (wrsETH on Base and Optimism)	Ethereum: exit request with a required outputToken, then cooldown and a WITHDRAW pending action. L2s: exit is not available through yield.xyz
Renzo	Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Linea	ETH, stETH, or wBETH on Ethereum; ETH on the L2s → ezETH	Ethereum: withdraw queue with a cooldown, then a claim. L2s: exit is not available through yield.xyz

Rewards and points

Every integration on this page reflects the base staking yield in the receipt token’s balance or exchange rate, with rewardClaiming set to automatic: there is no manual claim step for the base reward. Ether.fi, Renzo, and KelpDAO all list “EigenLayer Points” among their reward tokens, alongside a protocol-specific points token (Ether.fi Loyalty Points, Renzo Points, KelpDAO Miles). Points accrual is reported by the protocol, not by yield.xyz, and is separate from the reward-claiming flow.
