The highly anticipated restaking protocol has pulled in $200M after adding support for six new Ethereum liquid staking tokens.<\/p>\n
EigenLayer, an upcoming protocol enabling Ethereum stakers to validate third-party services for additional yield, has raised its global deposit cap to 500,000 ETH after running at full capacity for the past few months.<\/p>\n
Users can now restake six additional liquid staking tokens \u2013 osETH from Stakewise, swETH by Swell Network, OETH from OriginProtocol, EthX issued by Stader Labs, Binance\u2019s WBETH and AnkrETH.<\/p>\n
Just over 88,000 ETH worth nearly $200M has been restaked across the newly supported LSTs since the caps were increased roughly 14 hours ago. swETH and ETHx account for the bulk of new deposits.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n EigenLayer<\/a> has seen substantial interest from DeFi users since launching in June<\/a>, with previous deposit limits being reached within minutes of being raised.<\/p>\n While the concept of leveraging Ethereum\u2019s security mechanism to secure other applications is interesting in and of itself, the protocol is also top of mind for airdrop hunters looking for a windfall when EigenLayer launches a native token. It\u2019s currently running a points program that rewards users based on the amount and duration of their restaked assets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The highly anticipated restaking protocol has pulled in $200M after adding support for six new Ethereum liquid staking tokens.
