## EigenLayer Restaking ETH + LST

### What is EigenLayer restaking?

Read more about EigenLayer and Kiln [here](https://docs.kiln.fi/v1/integrations/wallets/stake-from-safe-wallet/broken-reference).

### Liquid Staking Token (LST) Restaking

Restaking of LSTs with EigenLayer is available via the Kiln dApp.

After this time, all LST deposits will again be paused.

### Native ETH Restaking

Restaking of native ETH will be available in the Kiln dApp at the end of February 2024.

### How to stake liquid staking tokens (LSTs)

* In the Kiln dApp go to "*EigenLayer > Restake*".

<figure><img src="https://1911902555-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fnye3yqpuOzdfrtWAlwng%2Fuploads%2FnKrVATwMd3L2xCRm7RKw%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=fdac9bb7-2488-453e-ba24-b00d9d485ade" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* You can restake the following LSTs into EigenLayer pools via the Kiln dApp:

<mark style="color:blue;">**`cbETH, osETH, ETHx, wBETH, stETH, rETH, ankrETH, oETH, swETH, mETH, sfrxETH.`**</mark>

* Choose the LST to restake, enter the amount, and click 'restake'.
* Approve the transaction(s)

### What are the fees for restaking?

Right now there are no fees for simply depositing and restaking your LST.  You are free to withdraw at any time. &#x20;

You still pay gas fees for the deposit and withdrawal transactions.

### What happens when I restake my LST via Kiln?

With Liquid Restaking, the LST tokens are transferred to EigenLayer smart contracts. The tokens are held in the smart contracts and you can [withdraw](#unstaking-and-withdrawals) at any time.

### How to view restaked positions

You can see an overview of all your restaked positions at "*EigenLayer > Portfolio*"

<figure><img src="https://1911902555-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fnye3yqpuOzdfrtWAlwng%2Fuploads%2FIEGvGw9YVJTJwWo9cwwZ%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=90c855e2-9261-41cb-9984-abb3b36eeef2" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### Restaking rewards

EigenLayer deposits will not yet receive any staking rewards. When EigenLayer is launched on mainnet (expected March / April 2024), users will have the ability to redelegate their LSTs to receive additional rewards.

#### Restaking points

By depositing your LST to the EigenLayer pools you will accumulate [restaking points](https://docs.eigenlayer.xyz/restaking-guides/restaking-user-guide/restaked-points), reflecting your contribution measured by the staked ETH amount over time.

### Unstaking and withdrawals

You can request to unstake your LSTs at any time.

All funds unstaked from EigenLayer go through a 7-day escrow period before being able to be withdrawn. After you initiate the withdrawal, you must wait 7-days before being able to withdraw your assets.

To unstake or withdraw, go to "*EigenLayer > Withdraw*" to initiate the unstake process.
