Restake and Delegate

tip

Restaking is depositing your tokens into EigenLayer contract. Delegating is assigning restaked assets to a specific Operator to run services for AVSs. For more information, refer to Restaking Overview.

The following procedure describes how to restake tokens except for natively staked ETH. For information on restaking natively staked ETH, refer to Native Restaking.

To restake tokens using the EigenLayer app:

  1. Open the EigenLayer app and connect your Web3 wallet.
  2. Click on the Token tab to view assets available for restaking.
  3. Click on the asset you wish to restake. Choose the amount of the asset you wish to restake. Click Submit to continue.
info

If this is your first time depositing a token on EigenLayer, you'll need to Approve token spending before you can restake. Token Approval gives a dApp permission to move the specified token from your wallet.

  1. If you have not yet delegated assets to an Operator, transaction prompts are displayed for the Deposit and Delegate transactions. If you are currently delegated to an Operator, a transaction prompt is displayed for the Deposit transaction.
  2. Sign the transaction (or transactions if you are also delegating) using your Web3 wallet. The confirmation screen is displayed indicating that the Restake operation is completed.
