Renzo is a Liquid Restaking Protocol (LRT) issuing ezETH on top of EigenLayer. Users deposit ETH or LSTs and receive ezETH, which compounds Ethereum staking and EigenLayer AVS rewards while remaining DeFi-composable.
Deposit ETH to mint ezETH, then steer how Renzo allocates the restaked ETH across EigenLayer AVSs — each edge is a reward stream carrying its own slashing risk.

Native EigenLayer restaking requires running validators or managing pods, choosing operators, and accepting illiquidity during the EigenLayer exit queue.
Renzo abstracts the EigenLayer interface: users deposit ETH/LSTs and receive ezETH, a single liquid token that earns Ethereum staking + AVS restaking rewards and trades on Curve/Balancer/Uniswap with deep secondary liquidity.
One of the original EigenLayer LRTs alongside ether.fi and Kelp; cross-chain deployments via xRenzoBridge to Arbitrum, Base, Linea, BSC, Blast, Mode; parallel Symbiotic LRT (pzETH) and EIGEN restaking. 4-of-6 multisig + 7-day timelock governs upgrades.
