EigenLayer, the first restaking protocol on Ethereum blockchain, continues to announce groundbreaking updates becoming the biggest <a href="https://coingape.com/coinbase-restaking-becomes-ethereum-second-largest-defi-sector/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">crypto project</a> of the year.

In an official announcement, EigenLayer said it is removing caps on all liquid staking tokens (LST) and restarting restaking deposits from April 16. This marks the completion of the phased rollout of EigenLayer, fostering a wide-open and dynamic staking ecosystem. 
“EigenLayer’s development has been guided by a commitment to stability and growth. The successful launches of Stages 1, 2&nbsp;and&nbsp;3 laid the groundwork for a thriving ecosystem of restakers, operators, AVSs, and rollups,” stated <a href="https://www.blog.eigenlayer.xyz/unpausing-restaking-caps-on-april-16th/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Eigen Labs</a>. 
Will the full potential of the EigenLayer network be unleashed by removing the LST caps, the protocol looks to implement protocol awards. A proposal recommends capping them at 33% for a user to balance neutrality and decentralization.

EigenLayer has unveiled restaking on Ethereum, enabling the use of currently staked ETH to secure additional dapps and infrastructure. EigenLayer proposes to leverage the robust security of the Ethereum network to secure a broader range of dapps, foster permissionless innovation, and make it easier for developers to build onchain. 
As per <a href="https://defillama.com/protocol/eigenlayer#information" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">DeFiLlama</a>, 3.88 million ETH worth $12.67 billion have been deposited by restakers into the protocol. This indicates the growing demand for restaking with the benefits of added rewards. 
EigenLayer was launched on the <a href="https://coingape.com/restaking-protocol-eigenlayer-launches-on-the-ethereum-mainnet/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ethereum mainnet</a> on April 9. Since then, it has announced AVS mainnet launch and six new Actively Validated Services (AVS). Coinbase Staking has also joined EigenLayer as an operator, tapping the potential in the restaking market. 
Additionally, <a href="https://coingape.com/coinbase-cautions-on-risks-in-ethereums-restaking-sector/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Coinbase</a> has also warned about the risks in Ethereum’s growing restaking sector. It implies that high returns could encourage Liquid Restaking Token (LRT) providers to participate in several restaking practices, which would worsen financial and security risks.
