“EigenLayer’s staking protocol is poised to turn out to be the bedrock for a variety of recent companies and middleware on Ethereum, which, in flip, may generate a significant supply of ether (ETH) rewards for validators sooner or later,” analysts David Han and David Duong wrote, noting that it’s now the second largest DeFi protocol with $12.4 billion in complete worth locked.
EigenLayer permits validators to earn additional rewards by securing actively validated companies (AVS) by restaking their staked ether and “builds upon the muse of the present staking ecosystem by collateralizing a various pool of underlying liquid staked tokens (LSTs) or native staked ETH,” the report mentioned.
