Design Ethos
The Most Liquid, Composable Liquid Restaking Token
The goal of Rest Finance is to provide a complementary product to EigenLayer that makes up for any trade offs incurred in the process of restaking while maximizing benefits for the end user, by enabling users to optimize their staking and restaking yields in a straightforward manner, whilst remaining liquid and utilizing their restETH across DeFi. The primary objectives of Rest are:
To enable users to earn boosted staking rewards through restaking without losing immediate liquidity.
To make it possible for smaller-size users to take advantage of restaking without incurring high costs.
To reduce the risk of slashing or the otherwise loss of a staked deposit due to software bugs or malicious actors.
To establish the restETH token as quality collateral within DeFi and introduce it as a building block for other applications and protocols to use in a permissionless fashion.
To establish the most liquid restaked token available, using algorithmic collateral management systems.
This ethos ensures restETH fulfills acts as a fully liquid, transferable token that gives its holder exposure to restaking rewards without the drawbacks of natively restaking with EigenLayer. It is integrated with cross-chain messaging rails, and natively functions across multiple blockchains without incurring third-party bridge or wrapper risks. It is designed to maximize user flexibility and developer composability alike.
