Understanding Restaking and EigenLayer: New Frontiers in Blockchain Technology
Restaking is a concept in decentralized finance (DeFi) that involves reinvesting staked assets' rewards to compound the returns. In most proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain networks, validators stake their cryptocurrency to participate in the network's consensus mechanism, earning rewards in return. Restaking automates the process of adding these rewards back into the staking pool, thereby increasing the staked amount and potentially the returns over time.
Addressing Liquidity Fragmentation in Layer 2-Centric Ecosystems
The rapid evolution of blockchain technology has led to the proliferation of Layer 2 solutions, designed to address the scalability and cost issues associated with major blockchain networks like Ethereum. However, as more Layer 2 (L2) solutions are deployed, a new challenge emerges: liquidity fragmentation. This article delves into the causes, implications, and potential solutions to liquidity fragmentation within these L2-centric ecosystems.
