Coinbase evaluates the rewards and risks of Ethereum Restake.

Coinbase, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, has released a new report examining redeposit trends in Ethereum. The report, written by analysts David Han and David Duong, explores how re-staking can reshape validator incentives, potentially opening up new opportunities and introducing complex risks.

Coinbase analyst explains why re-staking has emerged as a hot topic in the cryptocurrency industry. Ethereum’s transition to Proof of Stake (PoS) has created massive pools of ETH that far exceed network security requirements.

However, the introduction of re-staking, particularly through Liquidity Restaking Tokens (LRT), highlights both opportunities and risks for validators and the broader decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.

The growth of Restking and the rise of LRT

Restake allows Ethereum validators to earn additional rewards by securing additional services on top of the network’s base layer. This concept was solidified with the emergence of EigenLayer, a re-staking protocol that became the second largest Ethereum DeFi platform with $12.4 billion in total value locked (TVL).

EigenLayer has seen explosive growth despite its lack of real-time Active Validated Services (AVS). Additional protocol validators can be acquired to increase rewards. This suggests that short-term agricultural opportunities may be of interest. Coinbase analysts predict that EigenLayer’s TVL will decline in the near term if farming ends or initial AVS production disappoints.

Re-staking facilitated the parallel emergence of LRT. These tokens represent claims on re-staked ETH, providing holders flexibility and the potential for additional DeFi profits. Multiple LRT protocols are now competing, mirroring the trends seen in the liquid staking sector.

Complexity and Uncertain Rewards

While the potential of re-staking is clear, Coinbase’s analysis highlights financial and security risks. Participating in multiple AVSs can complicate your understanding of the financial and security implications and expose you to more risk than ever before.

Coinbase’s concerns echo what Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said in May 2023.

“In some cases, if you misbehave according to the rules of other protocols, your deposit will also be reduced. In other cases, there is no incentive within the protocol and the stake is simply used for voting,” Buterin wrote.

Moreover, it is not yet known how profitable the initially available AVS will be. Some LRT platforms may face unsustainable fee structures if revenue from AVS is not sufficient to cover costs.

Additionally, deciding which AVS to back up creates another layer of complexity for those participating in re-staking. This decision-making process creates an ambiguous environment where accurately assessing risk becomes difficult.

LRT providers may be tempted to pursue the highest possible returns, potentially exposing users to higher levels of risk without a comprehensive understanding of the implications.

Despite these concerns, re-staking is paving the way for innovative DeFi protocols and could have a major impact on Ethereum’s economic model. With LRT’s DeFi segment TVL approaching $8.5 billion and platforms like CoinGecko labeling restaking tokens as a significant growth area, the trajectory of restaking in the Ethereum ecosystem is set for a real evolution.
