Ethereum liquid restaking protocol Renzo introduced its liquid staking token (LRT), pzETH. This token is deployed on the shared security protocol Symbiotic and issued in collaboration with liquid staking infrastructure provider Mellow Protocol.
pzETH facilitates staking with stETH, wstETH, wETH, and ETH. Additionally, it provides users with risk-adjusted restaking rewards through Symbiotic. Moreover, pzETH stacks with Symbiotic, Mellow protocol, and ezPoints. According to the announcement on social media platform X, the initial phase 1 deposits are capped at a maximum of $25,000.
Renzo protocol functions as an LRT and Strategy Manager for EigenLayer, serving as the gateway to the EigenLayer ecosystem by securing Actively Validated Services (AVSs) and providing higher yields in comparison to ETH staking. It facilitates streamlined cooperation between its users and EigenLayer node operators.
The protocol launched its beta mainnet publicly in December 2023. It allows individuals to deposit native ETH, wBETH, or stETH to access EigenLayer Restaked points.
Apart from pzETH, the Renzo protocol provides another liquid restaking token, ezETH, which represents a user’s restaked position. Individuals can deposit ETH or LSTs to receive ezETH. This token is reward-bearing, with the underlying restaking positions capable of generating incentives that affect the value of ezETH. Consequently, the ezETH value rises in correlation with the underlying LSTs as it gains more rewards in AVS tokens.
Restaking should be ez pz!
