Eigenlayer Description
Restaking allows staked ETH tokens to be used for cryptoeconomic security in other protocols than Ethereum. Protocol fees and rewards are exchanged for this. Restaking is available both for natively staked Ethereum and liquid staked tokens such as stETH, rETH, cbETH, and LsETH. Validation services are designed to complement existing Ethereum validation operations. Maximize capital efficiency and optimize usage across all your nodes with minimal cost. EigenLayer gives developers access to the Ethereum staked base capital and decentralized validator sets. This trust network allows previously impossible mechanisms to be designed. Restakers can check off-chain if bridge inputs have been correctly entered. If a strong quorum approves, the inputs will be accepted. If anyone challenges the input, it can be verified. EigenLayer operators may be slashed on slow mode.
