Figment Supports Fireblocks in Bringing Innovative ETH Restaking to its Customers, Through EigenLayer

March 27, 2024

EigenLayer, a cutting-edge security marketplace connecting restakers, operators, and builders, offers an array of advantages that can empower ETH holders. These advantages include enhanced scalability, heightened security, and the potential for increased rewards, all while actively contributing to the decentralization of the network. ETH holders can now earn restaking points, maximizing the benefits of Ethereum staking and network participation. 

In collaboration with Figment, Fireblocks is bringing this innovative new staking method to its customers by enabling them to restake ETH natively through the Fireblocks console. 

Key Features: Restaking through EigenLayer

  • Restaking allows Ethereum stakers to earn additional rewards by delegating their ‘restaked ETH’ to operators who run infrastructure for Actively Validated Services (AVSs).
  • EigenLayer makes restaking possible on Ethereum by intercepting stake before it is passed on to restakers’ withdrawal address.
  • EigenLayer has the potential to be one of the most important developments for stakers since the launch of Beacon Chain.
  • As an early tester, Figment will provide valuable feedback to improve EigenLayer and AVSs based on real-world experience operating AVSs, including through partnerships.

Figment’s role transcends mere participation; it envisions being a cornerstone in the EigenLayer’s architecture by providing robust support and insightful feedback. The relationship between Figment and EigenLayer is forged through a shared vision of an innovative, secure, and more rewarding staking environment.
