The restaking protocol offers new solutions to many issues and is an important narrative within the liquidity staking derivative track. The following article briefly discusses ‘restaking’, as well as some underlying implementations and security risks.

BounceBit is a project built within the Bitcoin ecosystem, aiming to generate staking rewards for BTC by creating the BounceBit Chain. Its core is the BTC re-staking mechanism, allowing users to convert BTC to BBTC and stake it on the platform to earn rewards. The project adopts a dual-token system, including governance token BB and BBTC pegged to the value of Bitcoin. BounceBit also integrates DeFi and CeFi, providing liquidity management and cross-chain operations, supporting asset transfers between different blockchains. Additionally, it employs the Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism and introduces the LSD (Liquidity Staking Derivatives) mechanism, allowing users to maintain liquidity while staking assets. BounceBit has gained support from notable investors such as Binance Labs.

This article aims to illustrate how to effectively manage a DeFi investment portfolio, covering key aspects such as portfolio composition, goal setting, risk management, yield generation, as well as monitoring and security of investments.

The primary reason DeFiLlama stands out among numerous information websites is its comprehensive inclusion of data, presented in a way that is easy to understand for everyone. To this day, DeFiLlama continues to provide data free of charge to all users while consistently rolling out new features such as a news aggregator site, Chainlist, and free RPC resources.

Renzo is a restaking DeFi platform based on EigenLayer, aimed at simplifying the Ethereum restaking process and providing higher yields. After users deposit ETH, Renzo mints an equivalent amount of ezETH, a liquidity restaking token, allowing users to earn staking rewards while maintaining liquidity. Renzo enhances the functionality and security of the Ethereum network through Active Validation Services (AVS) and introduces cross-chain restaking to improve capital efficiency. Additionally, Renzo issues a governance token, REZ, for protocol decision-making and incentives. The Renzo protocol has raised a $3.2 million seed fund and has received investments from entities including Binance Labs.

EtherFi is an innovative decentralized finance (DeFi) project focused on Ethereum staking and liquidity re-staking services. Through its non-custodial staking solution, it enables users to earn staking rewards while maintaining asset liquidity. The project follows three strategic phases: delegated staking, liquidity pools, and node services, introducing the liquidity staking token EETH. EtherFi's core mechanisms include delegated staking, non-custodial control, NFT and validator management, decentralized validator technology (DVT), and the ETHFI token, used for protocol fees, incentivizing participants, and governance voting. The team comprises professionals from the blockchain and DeFi sectors and has secured multiple rounds of funding, including investments from Bullish Capital and CoinFund.

Based on the Ethereum blockchain, Ocean Protocol has created its own marketplace, connecting data consumers and providers. The tokenization of datasets and services, it allows data providers to monetize their data simply and effectively while providing users with a one-stop ecosystem for accessing valuable data.

Lithium Finance is a dual-quote asset pricing protocol primarily designed for clients with valuation needs for illiquid and private assets. The protocol incentivizes more participants to provide quotes through economic tokens and reputation points while preventing malicious behavior through staking and encryption. The team has experienced some delays in development progress. Founded for over three years, the team has launched a beta version on Polygon. Currently, there is limited market demand for illiquid asset pricing, and the development of the track presents considerable uncertainty.

Aethir stands at the forefront of decentralized GPU cloud infrastructure, delivering innovative solutions tailored for the expanding needs of the artificial intelligence (AI) and gaming industries.

The article explores the market performance of the SAGA token after its launch and analyzes its innovations. SAGA is a Layer 1 protocol that supports developers in creating dedicated chains (Chainlets) to achieve modular infrastructure. SAGA adopts a unique "musical chairs pricing" mechanism to provide low-cost block space. The article also discusses the new trend of modularization and GameFi integration in the crypto market, mentioning projects like GALA, RON, and Arbitrum, which drive the development of the GameFi industry by offering high-performance blockchains and rich gaming ecosystems. In particular, the article mentions DAW (Decentralized Autonomous Worlds) as an emerging game genre that allows players to freely create and expand experiences in the gaming world.

Omni Network is an interoperability layer and L1 network on Ethereum, designed to connect various Roll-ups such as Optimism, Arbitrum, zkSync, and Starkware. It employs foundational technology innovations like re-staking via Eigenlayer, the Cosmos SDK, and the Tendermint consensus mechanism to offer a secure, modular, and high-performance Web3 infrastructure. Omni Network supports cross-Rollup interactions, aggregates liquidity, and simplifies user processes. It also introduces a dual-staking model, offers sub-second verification, and integrates with multiple Rollup architectures and applications. Omni Network has completed two rounds of funding, backed by prominent investors such as Pantera Capital, and has conducted a token sale on Binance's launchpool.

This article provides a detailed overview of the Ethena protocol season 2 event, which rewards its governance token ENA by accumulating points (Sats). It introduces three different strategies to participate in Ethena's airdrop mining, including the low-risk strategy of holding and staking USDe, the medium-risk strategy of purchasing USDe YT (yield tokens) on Pendle, and the high-risk strategy of combining ENA and USDe YT. The article also provides calculation examples of potential returns on investment (ROI) and annual percentage yields (APY) based on different strategies and discusses the risks and rewards of these strategies.
