**Restaking** allows Ethereum stakers to repurpose their staked ETH or Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs like stETH, eETH, or rETH) to secure decentralized modules, bridges, data availability layers, and oracle networks called **Actively Validated Services (AVS)**. Championed by protocols like EigenLayer, restaking enables capital reuse to earn stacked yield streams without unbonding underlying base consensus stake.
While base native consensus provides baseline rewards (~3%–4% APY), validating multiple AVS networks layers additional native and protocol reward incentives. This EigenLayer Restaking & AVS Yield Layering Simulator computes gross cumulative yield, deducts operator service commissions, and projects net multi-layer annual APY.
Governing Mathematical Formulas
This client-side restaking engine applies multi-tier yield compounding logic:
- Gross AVS Stacked APY (%):
Gross AVS = Active AVS Count × Avg Yield per AVS (%) - Net AVS APY After Operator Fee (%):
Net AVS = Gross AVS × (1 - Operator Commission %) - Net Combined Annual APY (%):
Net APY = Base LST APY + Net AVS APY - Projected Annual Earnings ($):
Annual Earnings ($) = Staked ETH × Net APY % × ETH Spot Price ($)
Worked Calculation Examples
Consider the default Web3 restaking parameters loaded into this simulator:
- Base Staked Position: 10.0 ETH (at 3.5% Base LST APY)
- AVS Delegations: 3 active AVS networks yielding an average 2.2% APY each
- Operator Commission: 10.0% fee on AVS rewards
- ETH Market Price: $2,600.00
Three AVS networks generate 6.6% gross yield ($3 \times 2.2\%$). Deducting a 10% operator fee leaves 5.94% net AVS yield ($6.6\% \times 0.90$). Combined with the 3.5% base LST yield, total effective yield equals 9.44% APY, producing an annual net return of 0.944 ETH ($2,454.40).
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is an Actively Validated Service (AVS) in EigenLayer?
An AVS is any system or decentralized middleware that requires its own distributed validation logic—such as sidechains, data availability layers (EigenDA), oracles, or cross-chain bridges—secured by restaked ETH rather than issuing a new standalone token.
2. What extra risks does restaking introduce compared to native staking?
Restaking layers smart contract vulnerabilities, node operator delegation risk, and multi-slashing conditions. If a designated operator misbehaves or suffers downtime on an AVS, restaked assets can be partially slashed at the AVS level.
3. What is the difference between Native Restaking and Liquid Restaking (LRT)?
Native restaking involves pointing an Ethereum validator's withdrawal credentials directly to EigenLayer smart contracts. Liquid Restaking Protocols (like Ether.fi or Renzo) issue a liquid token (LRT) representing restaked positions for seamless DeFi composability.
4. How do operator commissions affect total restaking APY?
Node operators run the physical infrastructure required to validate AVS software tasks. They typically charge a 5% to 15% commission fee on generated AVS rewards prior to distributing yields to delegators.
5. Are my restaking simulation parameters kept private?
Yes. All calculations run strictly client-side inside your web browser using JavaScript logic. No wallet addresses, capital allocations, or custom parameters are logged or sent to remote servers.
