Odaily星球日报讯 Ether.fi has removed the restaking feature from its main token weETH, making it a standard Ethereum staking token, and has transferred the restaking functionality to a new token, weETHs.
Following this adjustment, users can choose to receive standard staking rewards through weETH or gain higher-yield, higher-risk restaking exposure through weETHs. This change comes as Ethereum researchers have proposed a plan to reduce staking rewards to zero once staking participation exceeds a certain threshold. The founder of Ether.fi stated that this proposal would impact small stakers and staking-based products.
