How eETH Works
Non-Custodial: Solo stakers retain validator key control, unique among LSTs. Native Restaking: All staked ETH is automatically restaked on EigenLayer. Rebasing: eETH rebases to reflect staking rewards.Yield Opportunities with eETH
Combined Yields: Earn ETH staking + EigenLayer restaking rewards. weETH for DeFi: Wrap to weETH for use in lending and LP strategies. EigenLayer Points: Earn restaking points for potential airdrops. ether.fi Loyalty: Earn ether.fi points for ETHFI rewards.Risk Considerations
Restaking Risks: EigenLayer AVS slashing could affect value. Smart Contract Risk: Multiple protocol interactions. Rebasing Complexity: Use weETH for non-rebasing DeFi protocols.Frequently Asked Questions
