About Renzo
Renzo is a liquid restaking protocol that simplifies participation in EigenLayer by issuing ezETH—a liquid restaking token. Users deposit ETH or LSTs and receive ezETH that earns restaking rewards.
Renzo handles the complexity of EigenLayer: selecting operators, choosing AVS (Actively Validated Services), and managing rewards. This makes restaking accessible without deep technical knowledge.
With the REZ token launched via airdrop, Renzo has established governance and is expanding to multiple chains. ezETH is widely integrated across DeFi for additional yield opportunities.

Frequently Asked Questions
ezETH is Renzo's liquid restaking token representing ETH restaked on EigenLayer. It earns staking rewards plus EigenLayer restaking rewards. ezETH can be used in DeFi while continuing to earn these rewards.
REZ is Renzo's governance token distributed via airdrop to early users and ezETH holders. REZ is used for protocol governance and may have additional utility. You can earn REZ through Renzo points.
Deposit ETH, stETH, or wBETH on Renzo's app to mint ezETH. You can also deposit on L2s like Arbitrum or Base. Alternatively, buy ezETH on DEXs. Minting directly earns you Renzo points.
Renzo has been audited and manages billions in TVL. Risks include smart contract risk, EigenLayer slashing risk, and operator risk. Renzo diversifies across operators to reduce single-operator risk. Always understand restaking risks.
Both are leading LRT protocols. Renzo offers multi-chain deposits and automated strategy. Ether.fi has larger TVL and its own L2 (Scroll partnership). Both have tokens (REZ vs ETHFI). Try both based on your preferences.
