Staking Legos as a complementary layer to DeFi
2024-09-06 , Vistula stage

Similar to the DeFi Legos, the Staking Legos have forever changed the ETH staking landscape by promoting participation in Ethereum’s consensus layer, improving capital efficiency, yield, and the network’s overall health.
In this talk, we dive into how composable staking technologies like SSV, LSPs/LRTs, and Restaking Protocols like Karak & Eigenlayer complement the DeFi ecosystem - a macroeconomic view.
By improving the accessibility and profitability of staking, the DeFi ecosystem stands to benefit from the next wave of stakers that want to use DeFi protocols (for lending, borrowing, etc.) while simultaneously supporting the Ethereum network’s overall health.
