<p class="is-style-lead">The total value of locked funds in the EigenLayer restaking protocol exceeded $15.1 billion.</p> 
<p>According to DefiLlama, the project team lifted restrictions on pool limits, which caused a noticeable increase in total value locked (<a href="https://crypto.news/tag/TVL/" target="_blank" rel="">TVL</a>). This figure was $11 billion at the beginning of March, increasing by $4 billion in less than two months.</p>
