🎓 What is Restaking and Why It Might Change Ethereum’s Game
Restaking lets ETH stakers put their already staked ETH (or liquid staking tokens, LSTs) to work in more than one place. Instead of just securing Ethereum, restaked assets can secure additional services (AVSs) thereby increasing utility and rewards.
✅ Advantages:
• More rewards for stakers without needing to stake fresh $ETH .
• New protocols benefit from security without building their own large validator sets.
• Lower cost for infrastructure, enabling more innovation.
⚠️ Risks & considerations:
• Increased slashing risk if AVSs misbehave.
• Liquidity lockups and longer unbonding periods for restaked ETH.
• Complexity rises; understand which AVSs you're securing and what conditions apply.
