# What is Restaking?

Restaking is a process that allows users to reuse their staked ETH or Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs) to provide security for additional services on the network. This is facilitated by smart contracts, which enable the delegation of staked assets, thereby extending cryptoeconomic security beyond the primary staking application. Users can restake their tokens to secure multiple services simultaneously, reducing overall capital costs and increasing trust guarantees for individual services.&#x20;

## How Restaking Works

Restaking operates through smart contracts, enabling users to delegate their staked assets to secure multiple services. This reduces overall capital costs while enhancing security for each service. By restaking, users can optimize the use of their staked tokens, ensuring they contribute to the security of various applications on the network.&#x20;
