Introduction to Restaking & Shared Security

Blockchain

Restaking and shared security are changing how blockchains secure themselves. Instead of building costly validator sets from scratch, new chains and services can now borrow trust from established networks. This course introduces restaking as a modular security model—covering its evolution, platforms like EigenLayer and Babylon, and the risks and rewards for everyone involved.

About the Course

This course is a structured, beginner-friendly introduction to restaking and shared security. It walks you through the core concepts, technical architecture, key platforms, economic incentives, and the emerging risks and scaling strategies behind restaking. Whether you're new to staking or building AVSs, this course will help you understand how programmable security is shaping the future of Web3.
