Liquid and Restaking Protocols Gaining Traction

With the constant evolution in the broader digital currency ecosystem, Ethereum-based liquid restaking ventures are taking center stage.

Protocols like Ether.fi and EigenLayer are at the top of the liquid restaking niche. With $15.53 billion in Total Value Locked (TVL), EigenLayer has risen to the position of the second-largest Decentralized Finance (DeFi) protocol. Only Lido, a liquid staking protocol with $29.48 billion in TVL surpasses EigenLayer.

This growth within a short time and for a protocol that is just about to introduce its native token EIGEN underscores how the sentiment has shifted overall to different varieties of staking ventures.
