Simple idea how to avoid rsETH-type contagion in DeFi. You deposit ETH into a pool. Or better, stETH so you keep earning yield. You're basically restaking your already staked ETH. Now services like LayerZero's DVN can use that restaked ETH for their security. Not just bridges but oracles, DA layers, sequencers, anything that needs cryptoeconomic guarantees. We could call them Actively Validated Services (AVS for short). Obviously you need Operators who actually run the AVS work using delegated restaked ETH. They get paid for it with extra fees so stakers earn passive yield on top of staking yield. Aligned incentives. And because managing all this restaked ETH and picking Operators is really hard work for retail, there could be liquid wrappers. Like stETH from Lido, but for restaked ETH. They handle Operator selection for you. We could call them Liquid Restaked Tokens (LRTs). If an Operator misbehaves or signs a forged signature, we slash that ETH. Like an insurance fund inside the protocol layer! So no need to for Defi United donations in the future. I think this could really work.(Ignas | DeFi)
