What is ether.fi (ETHFI)?
The protocol behind ETHFI, ether.fi, offers a new staking protocol for Ethereum by leveraging Eigenlayer to natively re-stake deposited ETH.
This approach increases economic security for external systems such as rollups and oracles, consequently increasing returns for ETH stakers. In the protocol, ETH stakers receive a liquid staking token called eETH, which can be used in various DeFi protocols. It is important to note that ETHFI serves as the governance token for ether.fi.
At its core, ether.fi functions as a decentralized liquid staking platform, enabling users to stake ETH to support node operators and earn rewards. Notably, each validator created through the staking process is associated with a unique NFT that encompasses different characteristics of the validator and metadata storage capabilities. This innovative feature empowers developers with richer data sets, paving the way for the development of advanced staking infrastructure.
