The rsETH market on Unichain has reached a significant milestone, surpassing $25M in total value and securing its position as the second-largest market on Morpho Labs. Key features: - Fastest-growing Liquid Restaking Token (LRT) on the platform - Offers 2x Kernel Points rewards - Includes Programmatic EIGEN rewards - Available for lending and leveraging strategies Users can participate through the [Morpho platform](https://app.morpho.org/unichain/market/0x5a2b9a157b1b212921845d53fa52ae828ad9bc240ebfc7d57addf7c8f4b4729a/rseth-weth)

Every additional ETH staked on Ethereum creates an exponential increase in network security through a mathematical relationship between stake and attack difficulty. Here's how it works: - Each new validator raises the cost of attacking the network - Staking rewards create economic incentives for honest validation - Slashing penalties deter malicious behavior - Kelp protocol enhances this security model by enabling liquid restaking The combination of these mechanisms creates a positive feedback loop where increased stake leads to greater security, which attracts more stakers. *Technical deep-dive available at:* [KernelDAO Blog](https://blogs.kerneldao.com/blog/the-economic-logic-of-stake-backed-ethereum-security)
