> **Visual Note:** A flow diagram illustrating the EigenLayer restaking process, where ETH is staked (1) to produce liquid staking tokens like stETH, swETH, ETHx, rETH, and cbETH, which are then restaked (2) into liquid restaking tokens (LRTs) such as eETH, rswETH, ezETH, and rsETH. These LRTs can be delegated (3) to an Operator that provides security services to Actively Validated Services (AVS) like EigenDA, AltLayer, and Omni, allowing users to earn yields and rewards (4) while exporting Ethereum security—visually reinforcing EigenLayer's dominance as the default security layer for new infrastructure, now securing 94% of the restaking market with up to $19.7B TVL.

Restaking is no longer a niche.

It’s becoming Ethereum’s default security layer for new infrastructure."

> **Visual Note:** Two wallets side by side illustrate the transition from liquid staking tokens (LSTs like weETH) to liquid restaking tokens (LRTs like weETHs), symbolizing Etherfi's evolution from EigenLayer-based restaking to its next-phase yield products as noted in the post.

End of an era."
