EigenLayer deposits surpass $900 million amid increased LST caps

EigenLayer deposits surpass $900 million amid increased LST caps

EigenLayer deposits surpass $900 million amid increased LST caps image 0

EigenLayer has recorded a significant jump in user deposits, now exceeding $900 million.

The protocol adjusted deposit caps for liquid staking assets, leading to a surge in total deposits. Today, these reached 410,000 ether ($900 million), nearly a fourfold jump from just a few days ago.

Until a few days ago, EigenLayer had set a re-staking limit under 120,000 ETH and kept deposits on pause. On Monday, the protocol raised its limit, setting a new threshold of 500,000 ETH (equivalent to about $1.1 billion) for all re-staked LSTs. Consequently, the protocol’s total value locked has risen from $250 million to over $900 million. The protocol appears to be on track to cross $1 billion in deposits and reach its maximum threshold.

EigenLayer offers a protocol for users to deposit and “re-stake” ether from various liquid staking tokens, aiming to then allocate those funds to secure third-party networks. The protocol’s stage 1 launched on the Ethereum mainnet in June.

New LSTs are supported

At launch, EigenLayer allowed users to deposit LSTs from three staking projects: Lido, Rocket Pool, and Coinbase. The protocol has now expanded its range to include six additional LSTs: Swell’s swETH, Stakewise’s sETH, Stader’s xETH, Origin’s oETH, Ankr’s ankrETH and Wrapped Beacon Ether (wBETH).

This increase in caps and offering various LSTs led to a surge in activity, with many depositing funds to participate in the network and earn points. These points may potentially give stakers the opportunity to receive Eigen token rewards in the future, although this remains speculative.

EigenLayer will pause all user deposits once the 500,000 ether limit is reached.

EigenLabs  closed a $50 million Series A funding round in March led by Blockchain Capital.
