How Eigenpie and ether.fi differ on token, backend, TVL and approach.
| Eigenpie | ether.fi | |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Isolated LRT | EigenLayer LRT |
| LRT token | Isolated (mstETH…) | eETH / weETH |
| How it works | A Magpie SubDAO: instead of pooling, Eigenpie converts each LST into its own isolated LRT (e.g. mstETH), so risk isn’t shared across different assets. | Stake ETH (or an LST) for eETH, restaked via EigenLayer (and beyond) to earn staking + AVS rewards; weETH is the wrapped, DeFi-friendly version. Uniquely, users keep control of their withdrawal keys. Also runs the ether.fi Cash card. |
| Restakes on | EigenLayer | EigenLayer (+ Symbiotic) |
| TVL* | ~$9M | ~$6B+ |
| Best for | Isolated per-asset restaking | The safe default — liquidity & integrations |
Pick Eigenpie for isolated per-asset restaking; pick ether.fi for the safe default — liquidity & integrations.
