Eigenlayer Description
Restaking allows staked ETH to function as cryptoeconomic security for various protocols beyond Ethereum, offering protocol fees and rewards in return. This process is applicable to both natively staked ETH and liquid staked tokens such as stETH, rETH, cbETH, and LsETH. By introducing new protocols that provide validation services, users can enhance their existing Ethereum validation processes. This approach not only optimizes node utilization but also ensures that capital efficiency is maximized with minimal additional costs. EigenLayer gives developers the opportunity to tap into the Ethereum staked capital base and a decentralized validator network. Gaining access to this trust network can facilitate innovative mechanism designs that were previously unattainable. Furthermore, restakers have the ability to verify off-chain whether the inputs for bridges are accurate, and if a robust quorum approves, the inputs are subsequently accepted. In the event of a challenge, the input can be verified, and EigenLayer operators may face slashing penalties in a more deliberate manner. Consequently, this framework enhances both security and trust in cross-protocol interactions, creating a more resilient ecosystem.
