Mike Silagadze is the Founder and CEO at ether.fi.
In this Quick Hit, we discuss the recent restaking mania on EigenLayer including how many of us are playing for the EigenLayer airdrop. Mike explains what is liquid restaking and the benefits of their new LRT (liquid restaking token) eETH which grew to over $100M in deposited ETH in less than 1 month since launching.
