Client Overview

Client Overview

EtherFi is a decentralized, non-custodial liquid restaking protocol built on Ethereum that allows users to stake their ETH while maintaining liquidity and control of their assets. The protocol addresses a critical gap in the Ethereum staking market by offering liquid staking tokens (eETH and weETH) that enable users to earn staking rewards while simultaneously participating in DeFi activities, effectively creating a "double yield" opportunity through native Ethereum staking and EigenLayer restaking.
