Native Restaking Goes Live on Linea with ezETH Integration
🚀 Restaking Revamped
Linea, a zk rollup for scaling Ethereum dApps, has launched native restaking capabilities through integration with Renzo Protocol's ezETH token. Users can now restake ETH directly on Linea without bridging from Ethereum mainnet, benefiting from lower gas costs. The ezETH token enables diversified exposure to restaking rewards and DeFi composability. Partnerships with protocols like Connext, NileExchange, MendiFinance, and ZeroLend unlock lending, leveraging, and liquidity opportunities for ezETH. This collaboration aims to enhance liquidity, innovation, and security within the Linea ecosystem and the broader DeFi space.
