Recent analysis reveals significant centralization in the restaking ecosystem:

  • 5 Liquid Restaking Tokens (LRTs) control ~60% of restaked assets
  • 10 node operators manage ~75% of all restaked assets
  • EigenLayer's TVL has grown over 600% in 2024

This concentration of power raises concerns about decentralization in the restaking sector.​ Industry experts are calling for discussions on power distribution mechanisms.​

Inception Launches wstETH inToken for Multi-Network Security

Inception has introduced a new wstETH inToken that provides exposure to shared security rewards across 13 different networks via Symbiotic. This Liquid Restaking Token (LRT) represents the most comprehensive security coverage available on the platform. Key features: - Single token solution for multi-network security - Earns rewards from all secured networks - Built on EigenLayer infrastructure - Enables liquid staking while participating in network security Users can access these features through [Inception's platform](inceptionlrt.com)

Inception Protocol Launches Asset-Agnostic Deposit System

Inception Protocol has introduced a new feature enabling users to deposit any asset and receive inTokens in return. Key features: - Integration with @EnsoBuild for automated asset routing - Flexible deposit options for any supported asset - Automated liquidity management - Multiple reward streams in a single token The system simplifies DeFi interactions by handling complex liquidity routing behind the scenes, while users maintain liquid positions that earn from various reward sources. *Visit [Inception App](https://www.inceptionlrt.com/app/defi/) to start using the platform.*

Shared Security Emerges as Key DeFi Infrastructure Layer

Shared security is transforming how DeFi protocols secure themselves, moving from isolated models to a networked approach. Key protocols like EigenLayer, Symbiotic, and Babylon are pioneering shared security infrastructures that allow multiple protocols to leverage a common security layer instead of building their own. This improves capital efficiency and enables smaller networks to inherit security from larger ones. However, an aggregation layer is needed to coordinate security resources across different ecosystems efficiently. Inception is building this infrastructure to harmonize economic security across multiple networks and restaking models.
