LRT yields explained

Why liquid restaking pays 8–12% — and why that number is never free.

An LRT’s yield stacks three layers: base Ethereum staking (~3–4%), AVS rewards for the extra services your ETH secures, and protocol/points incentives. That lands most LRTs at 8–12% APY, with spikes above 15% when AVS demand surges — but every extra point of yield carries extra slashing, depeg or complexity risk.

Top picks

Eether.fi

Reliable base yield with the deepest liquidity to exit when you want.

2Multichain LRTezETH

RRenzo

Often higher potential via aggressive AVS strategy selection.

3Anti-slashing LRTpufETH

Bottom line

LRT yield = staking + AVS rewards + incentives. Higher headline APY usually means higher risk — size accordingly.
