Renzo is the restaking hub of Eigenlayer built to streamline and expand access to the most intelligent Liquid Restaking strategies. Powered by institutional-grade node operators, Renzo abstracts away the complexities of securing Actively Validated Services (AVS) while delivering a powerful interface for risk management and rewards tracking on Eigenlayer. With Renzo’s ezETH—the most integrated Liquid Restaking Token (LRT)—users can access broad exposure to the EigenLayer (and Ethereum) ecosystems with more opportunities to generate rewards.

Renzo Finance said it has no exposure to the Binance security incident and that all of its products — including Renzo Basis, ezETH and its restaking services — are safe. The team closed out its notice thread with a warning to beware of malicious links.
The statement follows Binance's disclosure of a security incident that led the exchange to suspend deposits and withdrawals while it investigated. Renzo's posts aim to reassure users that none of its products or user funds are affected by the breach.

Renzo Finance announced the Renzo Basis basis trade is now available on Robinhood Chain, pairing spot positions with a short perp across multiple assets on Lighter — all within the user's own self-custody account. The product is not offered to US persons or restricted jurisdictions.
The rollout extends Renzo Basis beyond its original Hyperliquid home to the Robinhood ecosystem, where it already offers tokenized equity basis names such as NVDA, GOOGL, SNDK and QQQ. Users run the trades themselves with no pooling or custody by Renzo, consistent with the product's self-custody model across both venues.
Renzo issued its final reminders that users still holding $ezETH on the Blast network must bridge their funds out before October 26th (~48 hours away), stressing that assets left on the chain when it shuts down may not be recoverable. The posts point holders to the official ezETH Bridge and warn recipients to beware of malicious links, noting the tweets close out the bridge-off notice thread.
The reminder follows Blast's announcement that it is winding down its Layer 2 because operating costs exceed revenue, with withdrawals expected to close around late October 2026.
Renzo Finance said it does not use Railway and that its apps and products are safe to use, relaying a security notice from Cryptoski. The team said it is on high alert and monitoring multiple reports.
The statement comes after Railway disclosed a security incident in which an unauthorized third party accessed systems storing customer environment variables, potentially exposing API keys and database credentials. Renzo's message appears aimed at reassuring users that no Renzo product is affected by the Railway breach and that no impersonation linked to it has compromised Renzo services.
Renzo Basis has launched its first tokenized equities — NVDA, GOOGL, SNDK and QQQ stock tokens — powered by Lighter and Robinhood. Users automatically earn $USDG yields on these names entirely from their own account, with no pooling or custody by Renzo. Renzo amplified the rollout by reposting Route 2 FI's note that the four names yield 10%+ APR from a single click.
The launch delivers on the earlier tease that promised equity perps from Lighter, the perp DEX built on Hyperliquid, after its progress bar hit 88%. RWA basis yields remain flagged as an upcoming extension, while Renzo Basis continues to offer its crypto basis markets across Hyperliquid and Robinhood.
Renzo's native token $REZ is being listed on South Korean exchange Bithumb, which added a $REZ/KRW trading pair. The listing was announced via the exchange's official account and relayed by Renzo Finance.
Robinhood Chain announced more than 15 new integrations and launches spanning cross-chain and liquidity rails, naming NEAR Protocol and Hyperliquid among the additions. The announcement was relayed by Renzo Finance, which has been expanding its Renzo Basis product across Hyperliquid and Robinhood.
Renzo has issued a statement saying its Renzo Basis product was "built specifically for times like this," amid an external market event affecting other yield products. The protocol stressed that Basis's risk and liquidity are not pooled into a stablecoin or vault and remain 100% verifiable onchain, so users don't have to trust Renzo to know they are not impacted by the event.
Renzo pointed to its app for details, framing the product's non-custodial, self-custodied design as protection against events tied to pooled or vaulted yield structures. The statement reinforces the positioning behind Renzo Basis's recent expansions across Hyperliquid, Robinhood and its Basis Boost rewards program.
Renzo Basis has expanded its basis trade lineup on Hyperliquid with five new assets — $PURR, $FARTCOIN, $ENA, $PUMP and $SOL — offering average APRs up to 41%. Users earn USDC yields on these basis trades directly from their own Hyperliquid account, with Basis Boost rewards available to new depositors.
Renzo Basis's Basis Boost rewards program for stablecoin deposits is now live, and the protocol says spots are filling up. Users who open a first position earn a USDC bonus paid directly to their Hyperliquid address.
Renzo bought back over 127.1 million REZ from the open market using protocol revenue and burned 90% of it, aiming to reduce total supply by at least 10%.
Renzo announced $17 million in funding across two rounds — the first led by Galaxy Ventures and the second by the Nova Fund–BH Digital (Brevan Howard) — to expand its restaking services, coming as nearly $4 billion was restaked with the protocol.
REZ began the decentralization of the protocol, with the Season 1 airdrop distributing tokens to eligible ezPoints holders (32% of supply allocated to the community); the token debuted around a $289 million market cap.
The seed round, valuing Renzo at $25 million, was led by Maven11 Capital with participation from Figment Capital, SevenX Ventures, IOSG Ventures, and other investors.
Renzo's beta mainnet went live, allowing users to deposit ETH and liquid staking tokens to access EigenLayer restaking rewards and points, attracting over $20 million in deposits from more than 2,000 users within its first weeks.
The three co-founded Renzo in July 2023 as a liquid restaking protocol built on EigenLayer, with Kozinski, Poole, and Lodha serving as founding contributors.
