Restaking

Restake ETH and LSTs to secure additional networks

Restaking protocols allow you to restake ETH or liquid staking tokens (LSTs) to secure additional networks and services (AVSs), earning additional yield on top of base staking rewards.

How restaking works

1. Stake — Deposit ETH or LSTs into a restaking protocol
2. Secure — Your stake secures multiple networks (AVSs)
3. Earn — Receive base staking rewards + restaking rewards
4. Receive LRT — Get a liquid restaking token representing your position

Restaking introduces additional smart contract risk and slashing exposure across multiple AVSs. Higher yields come with higher risk.
