Restaking reuses staked ETH to secure other networks, known as Actively Validated Services (AVSs), for additional yield. It lets stakers earn rewards from multiple protocols simultaneously with the same underlying capital.
Why it matters on AGON
AGON operates on Base, settling bets in USDC. We don't offer restaking directly. But understanding it is critical for managing your on-chain portfolio. The yield generated from restaking protocols is often the capital that funds sharp plays on /markets/sports. It's a core capital-efficiency play for any serious degen. Knowing how to make your ETH work for you off-platform means you have more dry powder to deploy when you spot an edge on AGON.
How to apply
The process typically involves a platform like EigenLayer. You deposit either native ETH or a Liquid Staking Token (LST). This deposit is then used to provide 'shared security' to other protocols (AVSs). In return, you earn a cut of their protocol fees and token rewards. The primary risk is amplified slashing; a bug or malicious action in any AVS you secure can put your principal at risk. Don't ape into every new AVS without due diligence. A solid rule is to only secure AVSs with audited codebases and a clear economic model.
