It provides [liquidity](https://iq.wiki/wiki/pol-proof-of-liquidity) to assets deposited into restaking platforms like [EigenLayer](https://iq.wiki/wiki/eigenlayer) and seeks to tackle the risks and challenges inherent in current restaking options. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-t26u0jzun6)\n\n$$widget0 [YOUTUBE@VID](6zcj_DOVn6o)$$\n\n## Overview\n\n[Kelp DAO](https://iq.wiki/wiki/kelp-dao) Restaked [ETH](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) (rsETH) is a unified liquid restaked token generated from [LSTs](https://iq.wiki/wiki/liquid-staking) approved as [collateral](https://iq.wiki/wiki/collateral) on [EigenLayer](https://iq.wiki/wiki/eigenlayer). It enables fractional ownership of staked assets, simplifies access to restaking and [decentralized finance (DeFi)](https://iq.wiki/wiki/defi), and utilizes composability within [DeFi](https://iq.wiki/wiki/defi) protocols. Additionally, it resolves issues such as intricate reward systems and excessive [gas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas) fees. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-t26u0jzun6)[\\[2\\]](#cite-id-i2fmxk4ov2k)[\\[3\\]](#cite-id-qardbr7o2gg)\n\nRestakers stake their [LST](https://iq.wiki/wiki/liquid-staking) to mint rsETH tokens, indicating fractional ownership of the underlying assets. The rsETH contracts then distribute the deposited tokens among [Node](https://iq.wiki/wiki/node) Operators affiliated with the [Kelp DAO](https://iq.wiki/wiki/kelp-dao). Rewards accumulate from various services to the rsETH contracts, and the price of rsETH tokens reflects the underlying price of these rewards and staked tokens. Restakers can swap their rsETH tokens for other tokens on [Automated Market Makers (AMMs)](https://iq.wiki/wiki/automated-market-maker) for instant [liquidity](https://iq.wiki/wiki/pol-proof-of-liquidity) or redeem underlying assets through rsETH contracts. Furthermore, restakers can leverage their rsETH tokens in [DeFi](https://iq.wiki/wiki/defi) applications. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-t26u0jzun6)[\\[2\\]](#cite-id-i2fmxk4ov2k)[\\[3\\]](#cite-id-qardbr7o2gg)\n\nFor Restakers, rsETH provides a streamlined process, eliminating the need to identify suitable services and [validators](https://iq.wiki/wiki/validator) while efficiently managing rewards earned through restaking. For Authorized Validator Services (AVSs), rsETH simplifies the process by avoiding identifying and partnering with operators, streamlining efforts to bootstrap security, and contributing to reducing emissions on rewards. For Operators, rsETH eliminates the hassle of identifying appropriate services, simplifies efforts to attract restakers and restaked assets, and facilitates efficient management of rewards earned through restaking.
