Native ETH holders and liquid staking participants can enhance the utility of their ETH and ETH LSTs by depositing them into Eigenpie. Once deposited, Eigenpie restakes these assets through Node Operators on EigenLayer. The Node Operators then use the ETH and LSTs to support new "Actively Validated Services" (AVSs), while users receive LRTs in return, allowing them to earn rewards while maintaining liquid positions.

LRT holders from Eigenpie are poised to earn rewards through their direct participation in validating new "Actively Validated Services" (AVS) with their underlying ETH and LSTs, while still being able to access other DeFi opportunities simultaneously.

Eigenpie serves as an ETH and LST provider for Node Operators while simultaneously offering ETH and LST holders the benefits of Liquid Restaking on EigenLayer, enhancing their earning potential.
