Eigen Layer Restaking

About the Metric

EigenLayer is a protocol built on Ethereum that introduces restaking, a new primitive in cryptoeconomic security. This primitive enables the reuse of ETH on the consensus layer.

Total Restaked in Eigen Layer is the total value of all coins held in the smart contracts of Eigen Layer. Restaking allows ETH stakers to restake their liquid staked ETH token, further boosting their APR yield.

Significance

TVL of EigenLayer reflects the amount of ETH restaked to secure external services like oracles, data availability layers, or bridges. A higher TVL indicates growing trust, adoption by validators, and stronger economic security for the services built on top. It also signals revenue potential for restakers and the broader utility of the EigenLayer ecosystem.
