⚡️ What is it?
Restaking is a mechanism where already staked assets (like ETH) are reused to secure additional networks or protocols.
🔥 Why is it trending?
✅ Boosts staking yields
✅ Backed by key industry figures (including Vitalik Buterin)
✅ Leading project — EigenLayer — one of the most talked-about Ethereum-based startups
✅ Helps new decentralized networks launch faster and more cost-efficiently
⚠️ Risks:
❌ Centralization — control may be concentrated among a few validators
❌ Additional load and potential risks to Ethereum’s base layer
❌ Still in early stages — legal and technical concerns remain unresolved
📈 Outlook:
Restaking could become the foundation of the next DeFi generation. Keep your eyes on EigenLayer and similar innovations.
