# Liquid Restaking

> Liquid restaking tokens (LRTs) for composable restaking

Liquid restaking tokens (LRTs) represent restaked positions, providing liquidity while earning restaking rewards. Use LRTs in DeFi while your ETH secures multiple networks.

## How liquid restaking works

1. **Deposit** — Stake ETH into a liquid restaking protocol
2. **Receive LRT** — Get ezETH, eETH, rsETH, etc.
3. **Earn** — Accumulate staking + restaking + points rewards
4. **Use in DeFi** — LRTs are composable in lending, LPing, etc.

<Note>
  LRTs have varying withdrawal mechanics. Some support instant unstaking via DEX, others have withdrawal queues.

## Quick reference

| Protocol | LRT Token  | Underlying | Mechanism            |
| -------- | ---------- | ---------- | -------------------- |
| Renzo    | ezETH      | ETH        | EigenLayer restaking |
| EtherFi  | eETH/weETH | ETH        | Native restaking     |
| KelpDAO  | rsETH      | stETH/ETH  | EigenLayer restaking |
