Eigenlayer: The Restaking Protocol That Could Reshape Ethereum Security

EigenLayer has emerged as one of the most consequential protocols in crypto history, accumulating $18 billion in restaked ETH and fundamentally changing how Ethereum's economic security is deployed across the ecosystem.

The Restaking Model

EigenLayer allows ETH stakers to "re-stake" their already-staked ETH to simultaneously secure additional protocols (AVSs—Actively Validated Services). In exchange, restakers earn additional yields from the protocols they secure, while those protocols benefit from Ethereum's battle-tested validator set rather than bootstrapping their own.
