Previously, staked ETH earned only from Ethereum validation. Restaking layers allow the same capital to earn from securing Eigenlayer services, earning an additional 1–3% per layer on top of base yield.
More yield means more exposure. Services secured by restaked ETH can slash your capital if they fail. Diversifying across multiple services reduces concentration risk but requires monitoring.
New protocols let you delegate to restaking services without running infrastructure. These wrap restaked positions, making capital more composable across DeFi — similar to how Lido revolutionized Ethereum staking.
More services will launch on Eigenlayer, potentially driving restaked TVL to $30–50 billion. Watch for new layer operators and competitive yield offerings as capital seeks the highest risk-adjusted returns.
