What is restaking and what are liquid restaking tokens (LRTs)?
Restaking is a process where assets already staked to secure one network are committed again to help secure additional protocols, earning further rewards for that added work. Liquid restaking tokens (LRTs) are tradable tokens issued to represent a restaked position, letting you use that value elsewhere while it stays restaked. For example, you receive an LRT that reflects your restaked deposit and its accruing rewards. Restaking layers extra slashing and smart-contract exposure on top of base staking risk, and returns are not assured. Qatobit favours documented index exposure over stacked-yield strategies. See the methodology.
