ether.fi protocol
Overview
Ether.fi is a liquid restaking protocol on Ethereum that enables users to deposit ETH and receive eETH, a liquid token representing staked ETH that is restaked via EigenLayer. The protocol employs a decentralized network of node operators to manage the underlying validators. It is commonly used to earn staking and restaking rewards while maintaining liquidity through the eETH token.
Within the DeFi Intel graph, ether.fi connects to 41 tracked entities, most strongly to Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base.

Frequently asked questions
What is ether.fi?
Ether.fi is a liquid restaking protocol that allows users to deposit ETH to receive eETH, a liquid token that accrues staking and restaking rewards from EigenLayer while remaining usable in DeFi.
How does eETH work?
eETH is a liquid token minted by depositing ETH into ether.fi; it represents the user's share in a pool of staked and restaked ETH, allowing users to withdraw the underlying ETH or trade eETH freely.
What is the role of node operators in ether.fi?
Ether.fi operates a decentralized network of node operators who run the Ethereum validators that secure the staked ETH, ensuring the protocol remains trust-minimized and censorship-resistant.
What is ether.fi connected to?
In the DeFi Intel knowledge graph, ether.fi is linked to 41 other tracked entities, most strongly to Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base.
