Renzo: The Newcomer in the Re-staking Track

Renzo is an Ethereum re-staking protocol based on Eigenlayer, aimed at simplifying the complexity of re-staking on Eigenlayer. Users can deposit ETH or liquid staking token (LST) into Renzo in exchange for ezETH tokens. ezETH is a liquid staking token that can be used in DeFi applications, representing the user's re-staking position in Renzo.

In short, users stake ETH or LST tokens to Renzo, and Renzo then puts them into Eigenlayer. Renzo selects suitable active validation services (AVS) for users to delegate, lowering the operational threshold, while providing users with ETH staking rewards, Eigenlayer point rewards, and Renzo point rewards.

ezETH

ezETH is Renzo's liquidity re-staking token. For every 1 LST or ETH deposited by users, an equivalent amount of ezETH is minted. ezETH is similar to cToken, and its value increases with the AVS token rewards earned.

Rewards are expected to be distributed in the form of ETH, USDC, and AVS tokens. Unstaking requires a minimum of 7 days, but it may vary due to AVS. Currently, direct withdrawal of ezETH is not supported; users can provide liquidity on Balancer or sell ezETH.

Renzo allocates 100% of EigenLayer rewards to users. Protocol fees are distributed between reserves and node operators.

Renzo Points

Users can earn Renzo points through the following methods:

  1. Mint and hold ezETH: each ezETH earns 1 Renzo ezPoint per hour.
  2. Recommendation System: Invite others to deposit ETH to earn an additional 10% points.

Renzo users can earn benefits including: ETH stake rewards, EigenLayer re-staking points, and Renzo points.

Summary

Renzo, as an emerging project in the re-staking sector, has achieved a considerable TVL. The main risks faced by the project include systemic risks from Eigenlayer, reduction risks related to AVS, and potential de-pegging risks of ezETH. The application scenarios of the REZ token are expected to be primarily for governance and stake.

When participating in projects, investors need to weigh potential returns and risks, making choices based on their individual risk preferences. With the development of Eigenlayer and AVS, Renzo is expected to gain more sources of income.
