How it worksDeposit ETH/LSTs for ezETH; Renzo actively manages the restaking strategy and AVS selection. ezETH is pushed to Arbitrum, Blast, Linea, Mode and more, so you can use restaked exposure across L2s.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.
