Introduction to Liquid Restaking 2.0 & the LRT/LST-Fi Boom
DeFi

Finance
Technology
Liquid Restaking 2.0 is reshaping how blockchain networks coordinate security, capital, and utility. By building on Ethereum’s restaking architecture—pioneered by EigenLayer—and extending it through Liquid Restaking Tokens (LRTs) and Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs), a new financial layer is emerging. This course explores how LRTs and LSTs have become the foundation of a modular DeFi stack, enabling programmable yield, composable security, and shared infrastructure across chains and services.
About the Course
This course offers a detailed and non-redundant overview of the Liquid Restaking 2.0 ecosystem. It covers the core infrastructure behind restaking, the role of LSTs and LRTs, how restaking connects to new DeFi strategies, and what risks and opportunities lie ahead. Each of the five modules builds logically on the last, using real-world protocol examples, updated research, and forward-looking analysis to help learners navigate the space with confidence.
What You Will Learn
- What liquid restaking is, and how it evolved from Ethereum staking
- The role and mechanics of LSTs (Liquid Staking Tokens) and LRTs (Liquid Restaking Tokens)
- How DeFi strategies use LRTs for yield farming, lending, stablecoins, and composability
- The leading LRT-Fi and LST-Fi protocols and how they work under the hood
- Key risks including slashing, smart contract vulnerabilities, and regulatory tension
- How restaking expands to modular rollups, multichain environments, and new use cases like AI oracles and shared sequencers
- Ways to safely participate in the restaking ecosystem as a user or builder
