Etherfi (ETHFI), a pioneering protocol in the world of liquid restaking on the Ethereum Blockchain, addresses the liquidity needs among stakers who want to use their staked tokens for various purposes beyond traditional staking. By integrating with EigenLayer and offering native liquid restaking features, EtherFi has become the leading protocol in the ETH liquid restaking sub-sector, with its total value locked (TVL) reaching significant levels and providing users with enhanced earning opportunities. In this article, you can find answers to two frequently asked questions: What is Etherfi (ETHFI) and how to buy Etherfi (ETHFI) with TRY.

What is Etherfi (ETHFI)?

EtherFi is a protocol designed to facilitate liquid staking for Ethereum (ETH) holders, allowing them to stake their ETH liquid stake tokens (LSTs) and receive liquid receipt tokens in return. These tokens, known as eETH, represent users’ staked LSTs and automatically accrue rewards earned through restaking with EigenLayer. Users can also wrap their eETH as Wrapped eETH (weETH) to use the token in various DeFi applications.

EtherFi’s journey began with a focus on decentralizing the Ethereum validator scene and increasing accessibility to ETH staking. Initially, the protocol offered a non-custodial staking service that allowed users to stake ETH in increments of 32 while retaining control of their withdrawal keys. In August 2023, EtherFi advanced its mission by leveraging distributed validator technology (DVT) to distribute validator keys through an operator network, reducing entry barriers for node operation.

After integrating with EigenLayer as an ETH liquid restaking protocol, EtherFi saw significant growth in its TVL. This integration allowed depositors to stake their LSTs with EigenLayer and receive eETH tokens representing their positions. These eETH tokens are automatically restructured to accrue rewards from EigenLayer staking activities. Furthermore, users can wrap their eETH as weETH to enable broader usage in various DeFi applications.

weETH holders can use their tokens in a range of DeFi protocols, including liquidity pools, lending platforms, vault protocols, leverage protocols, and additional restaking applications. This versatility allows users to maximize their earning potential while continuing to gain exposure to ETH staking rewards and EigenLayer points, participating in a wide array of DeFi activities.

One of EtherFi’s most significant advantages is its native liquid restaking feature, which allows users to deposit their tokens directly into EigenLayer without waiting for unlock periods. This feature enables users to maximize their earnings from EigenLayer points and contributes to EtherFi’s status as a leading liquid restaking protocol in terms of TVL.
