How to Restake on EigenLayer
EigenLayer lets you restake your staked ETH (like stETH) to earn additional yield from securing other networks and services.
What is Restaking?
Restaking extends Ethereum's security to other protocols called Actively Validated Services (AVS). You earn extra rewards for helping secure these services.
