Staking, restaking Crypto Market Recap: The Big Moves in Staking and Market Trends

<p><strong>Welcome to our bi-weekly market recap at P2P.org, where we delve into the most impactful shifts happening in the crypto space.</strong> This edition explores the ever-evolving staking landscape, the Ethereum ecosystem, and Bitcoin’s latest staking developments.&nbsp;</p><p>Let’s dive into the highlights!</p><h3 id="ethereum-steady-validator-growth-amid-market-uncertainty"><strong>Ethereum: Steady Validator Growth Amid Market Uncertainty</strong></h3><p>Ethereum is holding steady! Over the past month, we saw a 1.49% growth in the total number of validators and staked amounts (source: <a href="http://beaconcha.in/?ref=p2p.org"><u>Beaconchain</u></a>). While this growth is consistent with previous months, it’s clear that price volatility and reduced validator rewards have slowed down the pace compared to earlier in the year. But hey, steady growth is still growth!</p><p>This isn’t surprising, considering the broader market’s recent behavior. In the last 14 days, <strong>the total market cap dropped from $2.3T to $2.03T</strong> (source: <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/?ref=p2p.org"><u>CoinGecko</u></a>). A dip like this often spooks the market, with concerns of a potential recession and uncertainty around the upcoming US elections driving institutional caution. High-risk assets like crypto felt the impact as investors hit the sell button.</p><p>Check out the chart below for a visual of Ethereum validator trends over time:</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2024/09/6536.jpg" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="2000" height="908" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2024/09/6536.jpg 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2024/09/6536.jpg 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2024/09/6536.jpg 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2024/09/6536.jpg 2000w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><h3 id="eigenlayer-and-restaking-airdrops-and-big-collaborations"><br><strong>EigenLayer and Restaking: Airdrops and Big Collaborations</strong></h3><p>Despite the shaky market, the <strong>past few weeks have been exciting for the</strong> <strong>Ethereum staking ecosystem</strong>. The main focus? Restaking. <strong>EigenLayer (EL)</strong> has announced a fresh round of $EIGEN airdrops to the community, distributing 86 million tokens, representing 5% of the total 1.67 billion $EIGEN supply. Even social media users can qualify for the airdrop—a move that shows EL’s commitment to rewarding the community that’s helping bolster its brand.</p><p>Original Eigen Foundation tweet: <a href="https://x.com/eigenfoundation/status/1831375846097219707?ref=p2p.org">https://x.com/eigenfoundation/status/1831375846097219707</a></p><p>In other big news, EigenLayer is partnering with <strong>Ethena and EtherFi</strong>, bringing the stablecoin <strong>USDe</strong> into the picture as a new restaking collateral asset. The <strong>adoption of ERC-20 tokens as collateral</strong> under the Symbiotic restaking protocol is a key differentiator, opening up the possibility for a much broader range of assets to be supported in the future. This move highlights Symbiotic’s innovative approach and maybe a strategic response to its growing competition. EigenLayer's recent partnership with EtherFi could be seen as a defensive move against Symbiotic, which is already positioning itself ahead with the ability to use ERC-20 tokens as staking collateral—something that EigenLayer currently does not offer.</p><h3 id="bitcoin-staking-babylon%E2%80%99s-success-and-fierce-competition"><strong>Bitcoin Staking: Babylon’s Success and Fierce Competition</strong></h3><p>Things are heating up on the <strong>Bitcoin staking</strong> front<strong>,</strong> too. Babylon’s first-ever staking launch at the end of August was a huge success—<strong>1,000 BTC</strong> was deposited in just four hours! With multiple large reserve tokens (LRTs) attracting a ton of BTC for the next round of staking, this momentum doesn’t seem to be slowing down.</p><p>However, competition in the Bitcoin space is fierce, with protocols vying for attention and deposits. <strong>Lombard</strong> recently announced the ability to re-stake LBTC with <strong>Ether.fi</strong>, strengthening its position as a leading LRT in the Bitcoin ecosystem.</p><h3 id="closing-thoughts-the-road-ahead-for-crypto"><strong>Closing Thoughts: The Road Ahead for Crypto</strong></h3><p>August and September are historically bumpy months for crypto and the stock market, and this year has been no exception. Price discovery is a natural process, and while volatility can feel unsettling, it also presents opportunities for growth in the long run. With exciting developments like <strong>EigenLayer’s restaking advancements</strong> and <strong>Bitcoin staking’s rapid expansion</strong>, we’re optimistic about what’s to come.</p><p>Stay tuned for our following market recap, where we’ll continue exploring the trends shaping the future of crypto!<br></p><h2 id="about-p2p-validator"><strong>About P2P Validator</strong></h2><p><a href="https://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org">P2P Validator</a>&nbsp;is a world-leading non-custodial staking provider, with $7B from over 10,000 delegators/nominators across different high-class networks.

restaking, EigenLayer Know Your AVS!

<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. To access such features, users pay huge amounts of fees to Ethereum validators to execute the code of the smart contract.</p><p>To resolve that, <strong>Brevis migrates the heavy computation off-chain and allows smart contracts to access full historical on-chain data and run customizable computations in a trust-free manner using Zero-Knowledge Proofs.</strong> This has opened endless possibilities for data-driven features: DEXes are able to build<a href="https://twitter.com/UniswapFND/status/1719760883965149501?ref=p2p.org"> <u>VIP loyalty programs</u></a> based on a user's past trading volume; active liquidity management protocols can trigger predefined user intents with ZK-verified on-chain states and events; AMMs can have strong LVR protection and more robust farming reward distribution programs; protocols can utilize<a href="https://twitter.com/TrustaLabs/status/1768114687089295770?ref=p2p.org"> <u>multi-dimensional ZK-reputation</u></a> metrics to segment users and provide a personalized UX based on an address's on-chain footprint.</p><p>Alongside the "pure-ZK" model, the new Brevis coChain AVS "optimistically" generates result proposals for coprocessing requests, which are subject to challenge by Zero-Knowledge fraud proofs. This will drastically reduce costs in cases where proposals are not challenged, while the baseline security is ensured by the overarching coChain Slashing Window, which accepts ZKPs to rectify invalid results.</p><p><strong>More details</strong>: <a href="https://blog.brevis.network/2024/01/18/introducing-brevis-cochain-the-fusion-of-crypto-economics-and-zk-proof-in-a-zk-coprocessor/&nbsp;?ref=p2p.org" rel="noreferrer">Blog</a><br><strong>Social Media: </strong><a href="https://twitter.com/brevis_zk?ref=p2p.org" rel="noreferrer">Twitter</a></p><p></p><h2 id="altlayer">AltLayer</h2><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2024/04/alt-layer.jpg" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="2000" height="1125" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2024/04/alt-layer.jpg 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2024/04/alt-layer.jpg 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2024/04/alt-layer.jpg 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2024/04/alt-layer.jpg 2000w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><p><br><strong>AltLayer offers products for rollups based on security from restaking (called restaked rollups)</strong>. It consists of three integrated “layers”; rollups may choose to use all of them or some particular layer according to their needs.</p><p><strong>VITAL</strong>—a decentralized verification network. It is used to verify rollup states—currently, this is done poorly or even in a centralized manner. It enhances the rollup's security properties.</p><p><strong>MACH</strong>—speeds up the finality of the rollups via restaked security. It acts as a “pre-Ethereum” rollup state attestation and finalization layer, which is partially secured by Ethereum (restaked ETH). This is particularly needed for faster interoperability since assets cannot be transferred to another blockchain until the state is finalized.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>SQUAD</strong>—is decentralized sequencing (txs ordering or block building) for rollups.

Suppose you don't already have an EigenPod address. In that case, we are excited to announce a new feature where users can generate their own EigenPod address directly within the staking process in our dApp!<br><br><strong>Below, we have prepared a step-by-step guide on how to do this.</strong> However, before restaking, please take note:</p><div class="kg-card kg-callout-card kg-callout-card-yellow"><div class="kg-callout-emoji">⚠️</div><div class="kg-callout-text">The withdrawal address is used to get your ETH deposit back. It's specified once, and nobody can change it after the staking deposit is sent because the network cements the association of a particular validator and withdrawal address. When you decide to put your EigenPod Address as a withdrawal address, you accept EigenLayer smart contract risk and understand that <a href="https://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org" rel="noopener noreferrer">P2P.org</a> can't change this address.</div></div><p>How to restake if you don't already have an Eigenpod address:<br><br>1. First, visit our Ethereum staking dApp at <a href="https://eth.p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org">eth.p2p.org</a> and connect a Web3 wallet.</p><p>2. After connecting to the Web3 wallet, enter in the field the amount of ETH you want to stake, for example, 32 ETH. Under the field, you will see option Eigenlayer restaking with the checkbox:</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2024/02/Untitled-35.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="978" height="832" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2024/02/Untitled-35.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2024/02/Untitled-35.png 978w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><p><br>3.

Now, we need to create an Eigenpod address by pressing the following button. The creation of an Eigenpod address happens by calling the Eigenlayer smart contract. As the user requests the calling of a smart contract in the Ethereum network, you must pay Gas for the Eigenpod transaction and sign it in your wallet.</p><p>5. After the user has signed the transaction, the Eigenpod address will be created, and its withdrawal credentials will be automatically filled in the 'Withdrawal address' field in 'Advanced settings.' Pressing the Continue button to continue the process:</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2024/02/Untitled-37.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="976" height="1330" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2024/02/Untitled-37.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2024/02/Untitled-37.png 976w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><div class="kg-card kg-callout-card kg-callout-card-grey"><div class="kg-callout-emoji">⚠️</div><div class="kg-callout-text">Based on the Eigenlayer system design, you will receive CL rewards on the created EigenPod address, while your EL rewards will be sent to Eigenpod’s owner address (the wallet you used to create Eigenpod).

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.

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>
