What is Morpho WETH / weETH?
Morpho WETH / weETH is an isolated lending market where WETH is the loan asset and weETH (ether.fi wrapped eETH) serves as collateral. This market is designed for restaking leverage strategies, allowing users to borrow ETH against their restaked position to amplify EigenLayer and ether.fi exposure.
How Restaking Leverage Works
This market enables a powerful DeFi strategy:
- Deposit weETH (earning staking + restaking yield)
- Borrow WETH against weETH collateral
- Convert borrowed WETH to more weETH
- Repeat to amplify restaking exposure
What Assets Are Involved
Supply Asset: WETH (Wrapped Ether) Collateral Asset: weETH (ether.fi wrapped eETH) Market Type: Correlated-asset lending for leverageweETH characteristics:
- Liquid restaking token from ether.fi
- Accrues ETH staking + EigenLayer restaking yield
- Earns ether.fi points and EigenLayer points
- Trades at premium to ETH (yield-bearing)
Leverage Strategy Mechanics
Recursive borrowing amplifies exposure:
- Each loop increases weETH holdings
- Multiplied restaking rewards
- Accelerated points accumulation
- Higher liquidation risk at high leverage
Market Dynamics
WETH/weETH markets have unique characteristics:
- High Correlation: Assets move together, reducing liquidation risk
- Low Spreads: Correlated assets allow tight LLTVs
- Active Borrowing: Strong demand for restaking leverage
- Competitive Rates: High demand from yield seekers
