YieldNest launches new liquid restaking token

Stakers with Lido, Frax, Origin and Mantle can “restake” with the DeFi protocol. 

Decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol YieldNest is launching a new liquid staking derivative (LSD) called ynLSDe designed to capture restaking yield from EigenLayer, according to an Aug. 21 announcement. 

The token “will allow the holders of Ether staked with Lido, FRAX, Origin Protocol, or Mantle to earn additional yield… through restaking,” YieldNest said. Lido, FRAX, Origin, and Mantle are decentralized Ethereum staking platforms, each of which issues its own LSD.

Restaking involves taking Ether (ETH) that has already been staked — posted as collateral with a validator in exchange for rewards — on the Ethereum network and using it to secure other protocols simultaneously. The premise is that in exchange for taking on additional risk, restaking can considerably enhance rewards.
