Renzo is the restaking hub of Eigenlayer built to streamline and expand access to the most intelligent Liquid Restaking strategies.

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 has teased two upcoming additions to Renzo Basis: equity perps from Lighter and RWA basis yields, posting a progress bar at 88% alongside the announcement. No timing, asset details, or yield figures were disclosed.
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 Basis has expanded its assets on Hyperliquid, adding $ZEC and $ETH alongside the existing $BTC and $HYPE markets. New USDC yields are 9.40% on ETH and 18.92% on ZEC, which the protocol frames as high stablecoin yields paid directly through a user's own Hyperliquid account.
Users' funds remain in their own Hyperliquid account, managed by a trade-only key that cannot withdraw and can be revoked at any time, keeping full control while earning perp basis yield.

Renzo Finance has brought its Renzo Basis product to Robinhood, enabling automatic perp basis yield for users on the platform. The move extends the rebranded protocol's first product beyond its own app, letting Robinhood users earn basis yield with automated safeguards and fine-tuned control over their strategies.
Upbit has confirmed it will list Renzo (REZ), supporting the USDT market, with trading opening on 2026-09-10 at 15:00 KST. The announcement follows Renzo's brief reintroduction of the $REZ token on its official account, which had teased the Upbit connection without confirming specific details.
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.
