Ethereum restaking is one of the popular crypto narratives in 2024. Various Ethereum restaking platforms are also implementing a points system, increasing the potential for airdrops for their users.
In this article, Pintu Academy will explain in detail how to deposit Liquid Restaking Tokens (LRT) with high bonuses or APY while hunting for airdrop points using the Pintu Web3 Wallet. Let’s dive in!
Article Summary
✨ Ethereum restaking is one of the evolving narratives in the crypto world this year, and Liquid Restaking Tokens (LRT) can be deposited on DeFi platforms to earn yields, such as in Pendle.
🚀 Some restaking platforms have a points system that could become valuable for future airdrops. Examples include EigenLayer and Renzo Protocol.
🪂 By depositing LRT, investors not only receive yields but also earn points to increase their potential for receiving airdrops.
About Restaking
Ethereum restaking has been a recent focus in the crypto world. Essentially, with ETH restaking, investors can restake their staked assets to maximize rewards on other DeFi platforms.
When restaking, users receive Liquid Restaking Tokens (LRT) that can also be deposited in liquidity pools to earn interest or yields. One platform facilitating this is Pendle Finance.
In this article, we’ll explain how to deposit LRT on Pendle while collecting airdrop points from restaking platforms like EigenLayer and Renzo Protocol.
Why has liquid restaking become such a popular narrative? Essentially, LRT itself plays a role in increasing the value of ETH. This is because by locking ETH on staking platforms, the supply of ETH in the market decreases, encouraging investors to hold onto their ETH rather than selling it.
About EigenLayer and Renzo Protocol
One of the protocols pioneering restaking is EigenLayer, which essentially restakes ETH to secure various other protocols on Ethereum.
Meanwhile, Renzo is a restaking platform that simplifies the restaking process on EigenLayer. This protocol abstracts all complexities and enables easy collaboration between users and EigenLayer node operators.
By restaking on Renzo, users will receive ezETH, which is Renzo’s Liquid Restaking Token (LRT), as well as EigenLayer Points and Renzo ezPoints. The higher the points, the higher the potential for receiving airdrop allocations from both platforms in the future.

About Pendle Finance
Pendle is a DeFi protocol that facilitates the tokenization and trading of future yield from a yield-bearing asset using an automated market maker system.
The main goal of Pendle is to provide a way for users with yield-generating assets to increase their profits. Additionally, users can also buy assets at a lower price than the market price. This is because Pendle divides yield-bearing assets into principal tokens and yield tokens, with this division making the price of the principal token cheaper.
Users can then trade or lock these yield tokens through Pendle’s DEX. Tokens available on Pendle include Liquid Staking Token (LST), Liquid Restaking Token (LRT), stablecoins, and others.
Pendle Finance is one of the leading protocols with a market capitalization of US$396 million. At the time of publication, the native token PENDLE has experienced a price surge of 47% in the last 7 days, reaching US$4.13.
