How to Restake

‍

From today, institutions can use the Blockdaemon app to restake their ETH and start receiving EigenLayer restaked points. 

‍

We’ve taken the complexity out of restaking for you by managing it in one seamless flow: 

‍

1. Toggle to enable EigenLayer restaking in the ETH stake flow, hit stake.
2. Blockdaemon crafts a transaction which:
   1. Creates an EigenPod for you if you don’t have one, or, if you already have an EigenPod we’ll find it and set it as your withdrawal address. Your EigenPod manages your withdrawal status and validator balance. 
   2. Uses a smart contract to enable batch depositing to your ETH validators to minimize gas fees.
3. You’re presented with a transaction to review and sign.

‍

You’ve enabled restaking! Once you activate your stake at www.eigenlayer.xyz you will begin earning EigenLayer restaked points.
