Native ETH restaking is a specific form of Ethereum restaking where participants directly restake their natively staked Ether (ETH) from the Ethereum beacon chain to provide economic security to other protocols. This differs from liquid staking token (LST) restaking, as it uses the underlying ETH directly, often through specialized smart contracts. This mechanism allows stakers to leverage their existing staked capital for additional utility and rewards. It enhances the capital efficiency of Ethereum’s proof-of-stake security.
Context
Native ETH restaking represents an advanced strategy within the Ethereum ecosystem, aiming to extend the security guarantees of staked ETH to a broader range of decentralized services. A key debate centers on the increased slashing risk that stakers undertake by securing multiple protocols simultaneously. News from protocols implementing native restaking or analyses of its systemic impact offers current insight into this innovative development.
The launch of Isolated Liquid Restaking Tokens (iLRTs) structurally de-risks the restaking primitive, transforming it into a capital-efficient, multi-chain money lego.
