EigenlayerxAnchorage

Anchorage Digital is proud to announce an integration with EigenLayer, enabling institutions to participate in secure, accessible ETH restaking and EIGEN custody and staking. EigenLayer is a protocol built on Ethereum that introduces restaking, which enables the reuse of ETH on the consensus layer to provide security to additional applications on the network and collect additional rewards. 

With Ethereum, the second largest digital asset as of this writing, institutions that hold and stake ETH may now collect additional rewards when they restake their ETH, extending ETH’s cryptoeconomic security to additional applications on the Ethereum network.

“This integration furthers our mission to provide institutions with secure, innovative ways to participate in digital assets. With EigenLayer restaking through Anchorage Digital, our clients are empowered to maximize their rewards while maintaining the highest levels of security and regulatory compliance.”

—Nathan McCauley, Co-Founder and CEO of Anchorage Digital

“Anchorage Digital's integration of EigenLayer marks a significant milestone for institutional restaking adoption.”

—Alan Curtis, COO of Eigen Labs
