Restaking Explained
Restaking allows staked ETH to secure additional services (AVS). While capital efficient, it introduces complex risk layering.
Risk Factors
- Slashing cascades across multiple AVS
- AVS smart contract risks
- Operator collusion possibilities
- Withdrawal delay implications
- Systemic risk to Ethereum security
Restaking multiplies both rewards and risks. A single AVS failure could trigger slashing across your entire restaked position.
Risk Assessment
Evaluate each AVS independently
Diversification
Don't concentrate in single AVS
Operator Selection
Choose reputable operators
