A liquid restaking token (LRT) represents a user's restaked ETH, providing liquidity on a yield-bearing asset. It allows holders to earn rewards from both Ethereum staking and restaking protocols simultaneously.
AGON uses USDC on Base for all market collateral and settlement. We do not accept LRTs directly.
However, capital efficiency is key. While your USDC is deployed on AGON markets, the rest of your onchain portfolio should be productive. Holding LRTs allows your core ETH stack to earn multiple layers of yield without being locked. This strategy separates your stable, liquid betting capital from your long-term, yield-generating assets. A smart trader manages their entire book, not just the capital committed to a single platform.
LRTs are the final output of a multi-step process. First, you stake ETH to receive a liquid staking token (LST), like stETH. Then, you deposit that LST into a restaking protocol, which in turn issues you an LRT.
The primary benefit is stacked yield. The primary risk is stacked complexity. You are exposed to the smart contract and operational risks of the base LST protocol plus the restaking protocol. The core calculation is whether the additional yield from restaking provides enough alpha to compensate for the compounded risks. Assess each layer of the stack independently before committing capital.
