LRTs and LRPs
TradiFi (Traditional Finance) having Liquid Restake Protocol, a different form of Liquid Restake Tokens in DeFi (Decentralized Finance), would give such TradiFi institutions an edge over most other conventional commercial banks across the globe.
LRT is a new kid on the block in DeFi and requires some level of technical navigation and fundamental understanding of DeFi (if you need a quick call on DeFi to catch up, look up Adrian Pape)
✨ Benefits of LRTs
1. Capital Efficiency: Users earn rewards from multiple protocols with the same capital.
2. Enhanced Security: It allows new protocols to tap into Ethereum's existing security layer (right now, via EigenLayer) .
✨ Risks of LRTs
1. Centralization Risk: Potential for systemic risk to Ethereum if too many stakers move to EigenLayer.
2. Yield Risk: High yield competition among protocols could dilute staking rewards.
Restaking offers a way to maximize staking rewards and protocol security, but it comes with its own set of risks, particularly around yield and centralization.
NB: The acronym LRP, I coined, for TradiFi, for conveyance of the same idea as it runs, starting with DeFi.
In the next post, I'll talk more about LRT and what it entails. In anticipation, give a like and share this post like doughnut 🍩 is shared with frens 😉!
