#Restaking

Stake your ETH once. Secure 10 things. Earn from all of them.

"*Restaking*" — the biggest idea in Ethereum security since staking itself. Instead of ETH just securing Ethereum, now it secures everything else too.

"*Shared security*" — how it works:
1. *Stake ETH*: You stake on Ethereum like normal
2. *Restake it*: Opt-in to secure other protocols, L2s, oracles, bridges
3. *Shared security*: New chains borrow Ethereum’s $100B+ security instead of bootstrapping their own
4. *More yield*: You earn base ETH staking + fees from every protocol you secure

"*Rewards and risks*" — 2026 reality:
- *Rewards*: 3-8% extra APR from restaking. One asset, multiple income streams
- *Use cases*: Data availability, bridges, oracles, app-specific L2s
- *Risks*: Slashing. If a protocol you secure misbehaves, your ETH can be penalized
- *Rule*: Only restake to protocols you’d trust with your keys

Think of it as "AWS for security". New projects rent Ethereum’s trust instead of building it.

ETH becomes the internet’s security layer.
