What is Renzo?
Renzo is a liquid restaking protocol that abstracts the complexity of EigenLayer. Instead of navigating EigenLayer's operator sets and AVS selection directly, Renzo lets you deposit ETH or other liquid staking tokens (LSTs) and receive ezETH—a liquid token earning restaking rewards automatically.
🌐Ecosystem Watch
Ecosystem strength is the best leading indicator of L1/L2 value. We track developer activity, unique addresses, and TVL growth — not just token price.
Renzo simplifies restaking for everyday users while optimizing operator and AVS selection behind the scenes.
Key Features
Multi-Asset Support
Deposit ETH, wBETH, stETH, or other LSTs. Flexible entry points for any user.
ezETH Liquid Token
Trade, lend, or LP with ezETH while earning restaking rewards.
Operator Management
Renzo selects and monitors operators, reducing user complexity.
ezPoints Rewards
Earn additional ezPoints beyond staking/restaking APR for early supporters.
Multi-Chain Deployment
Available on Ethereum mainnet, Arbitrum, Base, and other L2s.
Dashboard Analytics
Track rewards, operator performance, and risk metrics in real-time.
How to Use Renzo
1. Connect Wallet
Visit app.renzoprotocol.com. Connect MetaMask or another Ethereum-compatible wallet.
2. Choose Asset
Select ETH, wBETH, stETH, or another supported LST to deposit.
3. Deposit & Receive ezETH
Enter amount and confirm deposit. Receive ezETH 1:1 (initially). Auto-earned rewards accrue daily.
4. Monitor & Manage
View restaking APR, operator allocation, and ezPoints in the dashboard. Exit anytime.
⚠️ Risks to Know
Smart contract risk: Renzo and underlying operators are audited but bugs are possible.
Slashing risk: Operator misbehavior can reduce restaking returns. Renzo's delegation mitigates but doesn't eliminate this.
Liquidity risk: ezETH may have slippage on DEXs if large positions are exited.
