Rollover can be achieved in two main ways: through natively rolled over eth or using a liquid staking token (LST). By staking their eth, users get additional applications known as Actively Validated Services (AVS), which generate additional staking rewards.
A major player in the betting landscape is OwnLayerwhich has become the second largest decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol on the ethereum network.
EigenLayer has achieved a major milestone with the launch of EigenDA, its actively validated data availability service (AVS), on the mainnet.
According to an investigation x.com/Kairos_Res/status/1777840098337345734″ target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow”>report by Kairos, this release marks the beginning of a new era in resetting, where liquid recovery tokens (LRT) will become the dominant way for reactors to do business.
Currently, 73% of all deposits on EigenLayer are made through liquid replenishment tokens. The report highlights that the growth rate of LRT deposits has been significant, increasing more than 13,800% in less than four months, from approximately $71.74 million on December 1, 2023 to $10 billion on April 9 2024, demonstrating the growing confidence in EigenLayer. approach to pick up and contribute to the changing tides in the ethereum staking landscape.
According to Wan, the rise of liquid repurchase protocols has also contributed to a decline in the dominance of Lido (LDO), a betting company. service solution for Solana (SOL), ethereum and Terra (LUNC).
On the other hand, Etherfi has become the second largest withdrawal of stETH, with 108,000 stETH withdrawn during the first quarter of 2024. This trend exemplifies the growing popularity of liquid recovery protocols, which allow participants to withdraw and actively use your assets staked while still earning rewards.
Ether.fi Set to Overtake Binance in eth Share
The data provided by Wan also shows a decline in the dominance of centralized exchanges (CEX) in eth staking. Since 2024, CEXs have seen their stake share decline from 29.7% to 25.8%, a significant drop of 3.7%.
As a result, decentralized betting provider Kiln Finance overtook Binance to become the third largest entity in terms of bet eth. According to the researcher, with Ether.fi set to do the same, it is expected to surpass Binance's position shortly.
In short, these developments signify a paradigm shift in the ethereum staking landscape, with staking methodologies gaining traction and decentralized protocols like EigenLayer and Ether.fi challenging the dominance of established players.
