SINGAPORE, Dec. 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OKX, a leading Web3 technology company, has issued updates for December 20, 2023.
OKX DeFi Now Supports EigenLayer, a Decentralized Ethereum Restaking Protocol
OKX DeFi now supports EigenLayer, a protocol built on Ethereum that introduces restaking, a new primitive in cryptoeconomic security. This primitive enables the rehypothetication of $ETH on the consensus layer. Users that stake $ETH can opt-in to EigenLayer smart contracts to restake their $ETH and extend cryptoeconomic security to additional applications on the network. Part of EigenLayer’s potential, therefore, lies in its ability to aggregate and extend cryptoeconomic security through restaking and to validate new applications being built on top of Ethereum.
With this integration, users can now stake their $ETH on Lido (extra bonus), Stader (extra bonus), Swell (extra bonus), and Rocket Pool and restake their Liquid Staking Tokens (LST) on EigenLayer to earn an extra APR bonus exclusive for OKX DeFi users and EigenLayer Points.
