Restake ankrETH on EigenLayer

Once you have staked ETH in Ethereum Liquid Staking, you have an opportunity to restake it on EigenLayer.

To restake your ankrETH, you need to:

  1. Deposit ankrETH on EigenLayer.
  2. Delegate your deposit to an AVS operator (currently only available for testing on Goerli; Mainnet version is coming around April 2024).

Deposit ankrETH on EigenLayer

EigenLayer reopens for restaking on Ethereum Mainnet (opens in a new tab).
You will be able to deposit from February 5, 12 PM PT to February 9, 12 PM PT.
Why deposit? Your deposit gains you Restaked Points that make you eligible for the upcoming airdrop, and not only EigenLayer's (opens in a new tab) — giveaway of a protocol’s tokens that could have great worth on the market.
