What's EigenLayer?

EigenLayer is an Ethereum-based protocol that uses restaking to boost cryptoeconomic security. It allows Ethereum validators to reuse their staked Ether (ETH) to secure other protocols within the Ethereum ecosystem, thereby enhancing the security and trust of these protocols without requiring them to establish their own validator sets.

EigenLayer restaking allows you to use the staked ETH and secure additional decentralized networks, enhancing both security and potential rewards.
