Definition ∞ Restaking Solutions allow users to reuse their already staked assets from one proof-of-stake network to secure other protocols or decentralized applications. This mechanism enables staked capital to serve multiple security functions simultaneously, potentially generating additional yield for participants. Restaking aims to extend the economic security of a primary blockchain to other protocols. It creates a layered security model, leveraging existing staked collateral.
Context ∞ Restaking solutions represent a new frontier in decentralized finance, particularly in the Ethereum ecosystem, where they aim to extend ETH’s security budget. Discussions often center on the increased complexity and potential systemic risks introduced by stacking multiple layers of economic security. The design of these solutions must carefully consider slashing conditions and incentive alignment across various protocols. News frequently covers the development and adoption of new restaking platforms and their implications for network security.
