What is EigenLayer AVS Staking?
EigenLayer enables "restaking". Using staked ETH to secure additional protocols called Actively Validated Services (AVSs). Restakers earn yields from multiple sources: base staking + AVS rewards.
How It Works
Deposit ETH or LSTs into EigenLayer
Delegate to operators running AVS software
Operators validate AVSs on your behalf
Earn rewards from participating AVSs
Yield Sources
Base Staking: ~3.5% from ETH staking (via LST)
AVS Rewards: Variable, depends on AVS demand
Points/Airdrops: EigenLayer and AVS points
Risk Considerations
Slashing: AVS misbehavior can slash restaked ETH
Operator Risk: Choosing reliable operators matters
Complexity: Multiple layers of smart contracts
