Restaking

Reusing staked ETH to secure additional protocols, earning extra yield and extra risk.

What restaking is

Restaking lets already-staked ETH be re-pledged to secure other services (oracles, bridges, data layers) via systems like EigenLayer. Stakers earn additional rewards for taking on additional slashing risk.

Why it matters

It turns Ethereum's economic security into a shared resource new protocols can rent instead of bootstrapping their own.
