This form of staker-SSP relationship is called a delegation. Delegations provide economic security to the protocol, require locking the funds, and are incentivized by reward earnings. A delegator is supposed to do their research on validators and decide who is the best in terms of yield & credibility.</p><p>Conceptually, the restaking process is similar to mere staking but introduces an additional layer of complexity. In addition to choosing an Operator, a delegator must now consider a set of protocols (AVSs).</p><p>We assume a case when a delegator has already settled with Ethereum - they run nodes themselves or stake via Ethereum staking service provider (SSP) or liquid staking protocol (LSP) and has yet to opt in restaking offered by Eigenlayer.</p><p>In Eigenlayer, a delegator (also referred to as a restaker) must choose a Strategy. The Strategy comprises an Operator and the set of AVSs supported by this Operator.</p><p>Operators are obliged to perform duties prescribed by AVS protocols. If they don't, they might be penalized, and the penalty is usually either slashing (burning a fraction of a stake) or jailing (de-registering, banning from operations).</p><div class="kg-card kg-callout-card kg-callout-card-grey"><div class="kg-callout-emoji">💡</div><div class="kg-callout-text">A list of some slashing & jailing conditions that AVSs can have:<br><br>- Misattestation of block/data<br>- Doublesigning<br>- Operational<br>- Downtime<br>- Laziness (imitation of proper work)<br>- Wrong computation output</div></div><p><br>Slashing events may occur due to Operator misbehavior, failure, or protocol flaws, which are sometimes induced by specific market conditions (e.g., high load due to market volatility) and massive technical collapses. Even though slashing is not currently enabled in Eigenlayer, it eventually will be, and it's about the right time to start thinking about it if you didn't before.</p><p>Since a restaking choice is narrowed down to choosing a single Operator (per the same capital), the choice of the Operator is critical, as in case of severe operator-related issues, there is a chance of being penalized on all AVS simultaneously—risks become correlated to some extent. The infrastructure automation, monitoring, and support of AVSs will likely be handled by dedicated DevOps engineers, who may share a common architecture and resources.</p><p>For example, the whole cluster of different AVS nodes may go down because they were hosted on the same cloud provider, which went offline in disaster cases.</p><p><strong>Besides slashing risks, one could also think of Eigenlayer smart contract risks and operational risks.</strong></p><p>All these risks can be loosely classified by fundamental sources:</p><ul><li>Eigenlayer Smart contract risk</li><li>Strategy risk<ul><li>Operator (validator) risk</li><li>Protocol (AVS) risk</li><li>Operational (delegators operations) risk</li></ul></li></ul><p>Let’s look into these categories in the next section.</p><h1 id="map-of-risks"><br>Map of risks</h1><p></p><h2 id="eigenlayer-smart-contract-risks">EigenLayer Smart Contract risks</h2><p>EigenLayer consists of a complex set of smart contracts. Here are the most important ones:</p><ul><li><strong>EigenPod</strong> - verifies ETH Beacon deposits via Beacon chain oracle</li><li><strong>EigenPodManager</strong> - deploys pods, keeps track of pod shares (podOwnerShares)</li><li><strong>DelegationManager</strong> - registers operators</li><li><strong>StrategyManager</strong> - the primary entry- and exit point for funds into and out of EigenLayer</li><li><strong>Slasher</strong> - is attached to StrategyManager but does nothing at the moment</li></ul><p>Although we won't delve into their details in this chapter (how they function is well described in this <a href="https://www.blog.eigenlayer.xyz/ycie/?ref=p2p.org" rel="noreferrer">article</a>), it still merits mentioning mechanics related to slashing and draining risks.</p><p>EigenLayer restakes <strong>shares</strong>, not the underlying assets (ETH, LSTs) directly. Shares only exist in EigenLayer contracts for accounting and are subject to slashing. They are not tokens and are not transferrable. That highlights the possible foundation for developing slashing cancelation mechanisms. In the previous version of Eigenlayer, the slashing of real assets could happen via asset locks during the withdrawal process.</p><p>The most significant risk in EigenLayer in the existing version (and potentially in the following versions) is the <a href="https://docs.eigenlayer.xyz/eigenlayer/security/multisig-governance?ref=p2p.org" rel="noreferrer">upgrade governance</a>. Nine out of 13 community EOAs (P2P.org is one of the signers) can ruin the system if they coordinate or get hacked. Any malware code can be pushed to the mainnet smart contracts and drain the funds through them.</p><p>We will continue tracking the development and determine if additional jeopardizing features appear with new version releases.</p><h2 id="operators-risks">Operators risks</h2><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2024/05/image-9.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="2000" height="885" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2024/05/image-9.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2024/05/image-9.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2024/05/image-9.png 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2024/05/image-9.png 2000w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><h3 id="hardware">Hardware</h3><p>Under hardware, we understand the physical properties of infrastructure—location, CPU, bandwidth, power stability, etc. Operators can use various cloud providers and configure nodes that don't fully meet the requirements or face capacity problems over time. It won’t be clear until the protocol issues a penalty, and then it might be too late for a delegator as they lose funds.</p><p>Hardware issues usually lead to higher downtime risks (meaning losing rewards), but sometimes also to slashing.</p><blockquote>As an abstract example, bad connectivity may lead to delays in the perceived state of the network; therefore, a node will attest to wrong data that does not fit the consensus.</blockquote><h3 id="software">Software</h3><p>Software may include nodes’ clients, various plugins, and automatization and management solutions deployed by an Operator. Software problems can come from AVS developers and an Operator; sometimes, the node client might come from external developers, and an Operator may choose to use it. Bad, unaudited code and the absence of timely client updates may cause unexpected operational behavior and lead to downtime and slashing.</p><h3 id="hardware-software-setup">Hardware + Software = Setup</h3><p>Technical issues related to hardware and software are not perfectly independent. Problems with one may reveal issues with another.</p><blockquote>Consider an Operator who runs two nodes. The second one is a backup node in case the first one goes down. It is managed automatically. Imagine if the system wrongly decides that there’s a need to turn on the secondary node while the main one operates, maybe because of losing the connection to the primary node or for other reasons. This will then lead to double signing and, hence, slashing.</blockquote><p>In this example, a minor hardware (connectivity) problem highlighted suboptimal software configuration, which resulted in a catastrophe. Thus, it is also reasonable to evaluate hardware and software as a whole system from the design perspective.</p><h3 id="security-breaches">Security breaches</h3><p>Poor security procedures, such as weak passwords, access management, and key management, put node operations at risk. This won’t necessarily lead to the total loss of the delegation funds unless the delegation is made in a custodial way. Still, it may expose a protocol to dishonesty/griefing attack vectors, resulting in slashing.</p><h3 id="bad-actors-dishonesty">Bad actors & dishonesty</h3><p>Generally, dishonesty is driven by two major factors: profit extraction and griefing. Dishonesty is intentional. For this to happen, there should be a condition satisfied: </p><blockquote><em>Value from the attack > Cost of the attack</em></blockquote><p>The cost of the attack can be decomposed into a) financial cost and b) reputation cost.</p><p>Reputation cost is hard to denote in exact numbers but easy to grasp. If an Operator is caught doing dishonest actions, eventually, they will lose credibility and, consequently, delegations and future earnings. AVS operations do not limit the reputation damage and will spread across all Operator businesses. One can roughly say that reputation cost is the net present value of all future profits that an Operator can earn. The higher the TVL (as a proxy of profit), the higher the chance that the Operator will be honest. It merits mentioning that it is not essential that Operators are the only participants in the attack. They can be just members of the attack group and, in the end, bribed (or even hacked) by another party.</p><p>Financial costs will vary across AVSs depending on the protocol design. An abstract example would be network congestion or spamming to disable other Operators to take over a protocol for a short period. This may include fees, infrastructure, bribes to other Operators, etc. To determine the cost, one should inspect all possible attack vectors on AVSs, which is sometimes difficult.</p><p>The value from the attack will also depend on the AVS type and ecosystem around it — value locked, trading activity, etc.</p><h2 id="protocol-risks">Protocol risks</h2><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2024/05/image-10.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="2000" height="885" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2024/05/image-10.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2024/05/image-10.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2024/05/image-10.png 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2024/05/image-10.png 2000w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><h3 id="protocol-logic">Protocol logic</h3><p>Protocol logic resembles the set of rules, policies, and processes that govern the operations and, in particular, ensure that Operators are properly incentivized to perform duties well. Rules include consensus, slashing conditions, reward schemes, etc. Improper protocol logic design may cause unintended violations of slashing conditions.</p><blockquote>Imagine an oracle that delivers an aggregated exchange rate for some asset pair. Let it be a median price. Oracles gather data from external providers like Coingecko or CMC, each has their own version of truth. <br><br>Let this oracle protocol pursue accuracy of the data, it should be gathered timely. So if some Operator posts the price that diverges from the resulting median too much, then they get slashed. For example, this might happen when an operator is lagging and delivers an “old price”, which is inaccurate, or the Operator might want to influence the result value to attack DeFi protocols. These are Operator side issues that should be disincentivized. <br><br>But what if there’s a problem with the external source? The Operator performs their duties well but gets slashed anyway because their truth source differs from others. This is exactly the case of bad protocol rules’ design. No bad intention, no bad performance, still slashed.</blockquote><p>The example above may generally be applied to occasions when slashing cannot be organized purely based on on-chain data. However, such slashing conditions can be potentially mediated through $EIGEN token staking. Learn more in <a href="https://p2p.org/economy/how-eigen-works/">our blog post</a>. </p><h3 id="software-vulnerabilities">Software vulnerabilities</h3><p>There is a chance of AVS having code flaws, which may then expose it to security vulnerabilities and operations breaks. The consequences can vary depending on the attack goal, making operators attest to malicious state transition (i.e., enabling double spending), Oracle price misreporting, etc.</p><h3 id="infrastructure-landscape">Infrastructure Landscape</h3><p>Even if everything is good with Operators and AVS, the infrastructure landscape itself can still present slashing risks. For instance, imagine something like the supermajority of Geth clients in Ethereum*. This particular case is a protocol-level risk, but it comes from the existing infrastructure landscape and sometimes can be managed by an Operator.</p><div class="kg-card kg-callout-card kg-callout-card-blue"><div class="kg-callout-emoji">❗</div><div class="kg-callout-text">*For a bigger picture, learn more about Ethereum supermajority risk here: <a href="https://supermajority.info/?ref=p2p.org">https://supermajority.info</a></div></div><h3 id="centralization-led-risks"><br>Centralization-led Risks</h3><p>Depending on the protocol design, sometimes large stake centralization poses risks for the whole network. If operators possessing large amounts of stake go offline or experience bugs, they can affect the whole network and cause mass slashing events. The probability of such a risk is higher when some Operator has a critical amount of delegations requiring just this Operator to fail to initiate the issue.</p><h3 id="staking-derivatives-contagion">Staking Derivatives Contagion</h3><p>LRTs appeared to be an important market player and have attracted large amounts of ETH since the launch of Eigenlayer. Some AVSs softly deal with them to ensure the initial amounts of security delivered. At the same time, the limit on LST restaking has been removed recently; therefore, an additional inflow of LST restaking can be expected.</p><p>Therefore, there can be situations when liquid restaking and staking protocols provide most of the AVS stake.</p><p>In normal market conditions, it doesn't pose any significant risk, but in the case of LRT and LST depegging, the security of AVS might evaporate, exposing it to attacks and instability.</p><h2 id="operational-risks">Operational Risks</h2><h3 id="reward-management-risks">Reward Management risks</h3><p>Security provisions are supposed to be rewarded, and restaking is no exception. There will be a large variety of AVSs; some may pay in the native tokens, some may pay out in tokens of integrated protocols (i.e., roll-ups), and tokens can even be issued in the non-Ethereum ecosystem (i.e., in Ethos). Once a restaker is rewarded, they must decide what to do with rewards - sell or stake again, if AVS accepts this token for staking, or swap to ETH and (re)stake ETH (or LST). Additional actions can be taken to accomplish that, such as reward withdrawal, bridging, swapping, etc. Apparently, restaking on multiple (imagine 10+ or even 20+) AVS will result in a resource-consuming reward management process.</p><p><strong>From a practical perspective, restakers can encounter the following:</strong></p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2024/05/image-11.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="1430" height="972" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2024/05/image-11.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2024/05/image-11.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2024/05/image-11.png 1430w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><p><br>In the most basic cases, rewards are paid in ETH and occur at predefined Ethereum addresses. There is no need to make any withdrawals or trade tokens. It's almost the same as Ethereum staking itself.</p><p>In a complicated dual staking case, rewards are paid in the AVS token on the external blockchain. AVS has a dual staking model, and rewards should be claimed. Then, they might be compounded or sold, bridged, and dispersed across different trading venues.</p><p>There can be so many actions and various data to track that <strong>the number of points of failure and reporting nuances is pretty high</strong>. Compared to mere ETH staking, restaking requires additional time and resources in rewards management; otherwise, stakers may <strong>miss rewards, not meet tax liabilities, and fail to realize the yield.</strong></p><p>Regarding reward management procedures, restakers should consider market conditions for reward tokens. In particular, it is important to track the available liquidity on trading venues and choose an optimal execution strategy to preserve yield.</p><h3 id="additional-unbonding-period">Additional unbonding period</h3><p>Eigenlayer restaking increases the duration of ETH withdrawals as there’s the time of undbonding from AVSs. Therefore, additional opportunity costs can arise due to the inability to move ETH.</p><blockquote>Currently, Eigenlayer unbonding period equals 7 days, but the period can change in the future.</blockquote><h3 id="legal-risks">Legal risks</h3><p>A delegator should check whether the AVS and owning the AVS token or even restaking itself doesn’t violate legislation of the country of their residence.</p><p></p><h1 id="risk-mitigation">Risk mitigation</h1><h3 id="protocol-risks-the-devil-is-not-so-terrible-as-he-is-painted"><br>Protocol risks: The devil is not so terrible as he is painted.</h3><p>Mass slashing events caused by improper protocol functioning theoretically do not harm a restaker. Eigenlayer has a special committee that is expected to revert the consequences. Also, the protocols are examined and audited for such possibilities during the onboarding procedures. Therefore, without regulatory complications, a protocol risk is expected to be minimized to reward handling.</p><p>Nevertheless, it’s better to be aware of all kinds of scenarios, even if they can be managed post-factum. The odds are small, but can something go wrong? Keep that in mind while constructing a portfolio and checking for risks we outlined previously.</p><h3 id="choose-a-credible-operator">Choose a credible Operator</h3><p>To minimize Operator risk (which seems to be the largest source of risks so far), delegating to Operators with a solid track record and large TVL, public recognition, or personal assurance is important. Before choosing between different Operators, <strong>it is worth building a checklist</strong> highlighting TVL in other networks, acknowledgment from Eigenlayer and AVSs’ foundations, availability of SOC certificates, and previous cases of dishonest & unprofessional behavior that led to the loss of funds.</p><h3 id="plan-in-advance-how-the-reward-monitoring-and-reporting-will-work">Plan in advance how the reward monitoring and reporting will work</h3><p>As we saw above, the variety of yield extraction paths is huge, so a delegator should carefully examine it and construct business/monitoring/reporting processes themselves or outsource it to a specialized third party. Doing it properly will help maximize yield and avoid unnecessary tax and legal pressure. Data services become crucial in this regard.</p><h3 id="role-of-data-services">Role of data services</h3><p>Besides helping operational functions, data services can be applied to operator and protocol risk evaluation. The qualitative approach determines the surface of possible slashing risks but cannot tell the probabilities of outcomes.</p><p>Practically, almost always, there will be no available data or method to predict slashing risks with verifiable accuracy. Most slashing events have an extremely low probability, making it almost impossible to figure out the exact exposure. Historically, there have been few slashing events in matured networks, all having diverse origins.</p><p>Nevertheless, we still want to have something that might indicate the issue.</p><p>Generally, we expect gathering data about AVS operators’ performance to be possible. It can still be used to rank Operators and spot signs of infrastructure disturbances, which then can be used as a proxy for downtimes & slashing risks. For example, if an Operator frequently (and recently) experiences spikes in attestation miss rates in some abstract protocol, they may face harsher problems in the future unless the problem is fixed. These algorithms and models based on performance data are yet to be developed, and their sensitivity must be fine-tuned.</p><p><strong>About Lambda</strong><br>Historically, <a href="http://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org">P2P.org</a> extensively uses data services for internal needs (i.e., business analysis & planning) and external reporting (clients & research).

<h3 id="restaking-with-p2porg-know-your-avs"><br>Restaking with P2P.org: Know Your AVS</h3><p></p><p>The latest development in the EigenLayer protocol has culminated with the launch of the EigenLayer Stage 2 mainnet. This phase marks the introduction of Operators, who assume responsibility for performing validation tasks for Actively Validated Services (AVS) built on the EigenLayer protocol. This pivotal step is a significant protocol evolution as Operators can now register to the network and begin validating for the AVSs. Restakers can delegate their stake to operators and start implementing the primary mission of EigenLayer.</p><p>EigenLayer paves the way for a thriving ecosystem of AVSs on the mainnet. <strong>To make your life easier, we prepared a short introduction to AVSs that went live recently. </strong>We support you in your restaking journey—that's what we do. Let's explore together.</p><h2 id="brevis-co-chain"><strong>Brevis Co-Chain</strong><br></h2><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2024/04/brevis.jpg" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="2000" height="1125" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2024/04/brevis.jpg 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2024/04/brevis.jpg 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2024/04/brevis.jpg 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2024/04/brevis.jpg 2000w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><p><br>Smart contracts require quite a lot of computational resources to operate on-chain for data-driven or complex features.

Technically, the withdrawal address and the execution rewards address can be different. However, to simplify the staking process, most operators set the withdrawal address as the execution rewards address by default. However, this poses an issue for restaking: EigenPod doesn't accept direct transactions from MEV bots, which means it can't receive most MEV rewards either.We resolve this issue by automatically checking if you have put EigenPod as your withdrawal address. In such cases, we extract your EigenPod owner's wallet and use it as the execution rewards recipient address. This ensures that your MEV rewards are completely secure.</em></i></div></div><p><br>6. After staking completion, your validators will enter the validator entry queue, and by the time you're live, your EigenPod balance, will immediately reflect the stake.

The Eigen Layer team plans to share more details in 2024Q2. For now, extra rewards are distributed by Eigenlayer in Restaking points. Restaking points measure your contribution to the shared security of the EigenLayer ecosystem, the temporary proof of your participation in the EigenLayer network. You will receive Restaking points in your Eigenpod during the restaking process.</p><p><strong>How many Restaking points will I get for restaking?</strong></p><p>Restaking points are a measure of staking participation equal to the time-integrated amount staked in units of ETH*hours. You can read here more about how this share is measured in Eigenlayer documentation about Restaking points: <a href="https://docs.eigenlayer.xyz/eigenlayer/restaking-guides/restaking-user-guide/restaked-points?ref=p2p.org">https://docs.eigenlayer.xyz/eigenlayer/restaking-guides/restaking-user-guide/restaked-points</a></p><p><strong>What risks are involved with restaking?</strong></p><p>Restaking, while offering additional rewards, also brings with it inherent risks. Validators participating in restaking face potential penalties from Ethereum and EigenLayer if they violate network consensus rules.</p><p>Moreover, validators' withdrawal credentials are tied to EigenLayer's upgradeable Eigenpod smart contracts, introducing further elements of complexity and risk.</p><p>A comprehensive risks <a href="https://docs.eigenlayer.xyz/eigenlayer/risk/risk-faq?ref=p2p.org">FAQ by Eigen Layer</a> covers all risks;</p><p><strong>What about Eigenlayer slashing risks?</strong></p><p>There is no slashing until the protocol upgrade in the second half of 2024, giving new protocols and operators enough time to develop a robust risk mitigation framework.</p><p>In the future, validators participating in restaking face potential penalties from Ethereum and EigenLayer if they violate network consensus rules. So operators should carefully setup infrastructure and choose AVSes to run. Regarding native vs. LST, native restaking is a much safer option than restaking LST tokens, since your withdrawal credentials are associated with smart contracts under your management.</p><p><strong>How Eigenlayer addresses restaking risks?</strong></p><ol><li>Smart contracts are audited, and a <a href="https://docs.eigenlayer.xyz/eigenlayer/security/bug-bounty?ref=p2p.org">$2 million bug bounty program</a> has been initiated since December 2023, underscoring its commitment to ongoing security enhancements.</li><li>There is a community multisig (<a href="http://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org">P2P.org</a> is one of 13 members). In extraordinary circumstances, the Community Multisig can perform emergency actions, including immediately executing time-critical upgrades or replacing the Operations Multisig in the event of private key compromise. <a href="https://docs.eigenlayer.xyz/eigenlayer/security/multisig-governance?ref=p2p.org">https://docs.eigenlayer.xyz/eigenlayer/security/multisig-governance</a></li><li>There is no slashing until the protocol upgrade in the second half of 2024, giving new protocols and operators enough time to develop a robust risk mitigation framework.</li><li>Regarding unintentional slashing due to protocol/AVS mistakes, EigenLayer establishes a "slashing council." This council will oversee and adjudicate any slashing incidents, ensuring fairness and accuracy in administering penalties while the slashing mechanism evolves. The slashing event doesn't burn ETH; it only freezes it on the EigenPod address. This freeze can be removed by slashing the council. That will secure early restakers from slashing losses due to AVS/protocol mistakes.</li></ol><p><strong>How to exit from Eigenlayer?</strong></p><p>After validators are exited from the Ethereum network, your ETH transfers to the EigenPod address, and after a 7-day lock period, you can withdraw them from EigenPod.</p><h2 id="contact-us">Contact Us:</h2><p><em>Do not hesitate to ask questions in our </em><a href="https://t.me/P2Pstaking?ref=p2p.org"><em>Telegram chat</em></a><em> <br>We are always open for communication.</em><br><br>We encourage you to check our website and start our staking journey together!</p><div class="kg-card kg-button-card kg-align-center"><a href="https://p2p.org/ethereum?ref=p2p.org" class="kg-btn kg-btn-accent">Stake with us!</a></div><hr><p><strong>Web:</strong> <a href="https://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org">https://p2p.org</a><br><strong>Blog:</strong> <a href="https://p2p.org/economy/">https://p2p.org/economy</a><br><strong>Twitter:</strong> <a href="https://twitter.com/p2pvalidator?ref=p2p.org">@p2pvalidator</a><br><strong>Telegram:</strong> <a href="https://t.me/P2Pstaking?ref=p2p.org">https://t.me/P2Pstaking</a></p>
