Blocky saysRestaking reuses staked ETH to secure additional services — extra yield, extra risk.
Restaking (EigenLayer) lets you opt your staked ETH (or LSTs) into securing other protocols ("actively validated services") for additional rewards. The upside is reusing one capital base for more security and yield; the downside is compounded slashing risk and systemic fragility — the same stake now backs many things, so a failure can cascade. A frontier primitive, still maturing.
