The challenge

Staking participants play a fundamental role in upholding decentralized principles, ensuring network resilience and security. Over time, this core consensus mechanism has evolved with the introduction of restaking and liquid restaking, adding additional layers of security and capital efficiency.

However, the resilience of these networks depends on effectively driving staking participation. In an increasingly complex staking and restaking landscape, success hinges on curating opportunities that not only generate returns but also minimize risk—ultimately incentivizing stakers to contribute to decentralization. Beyond identifying optimal opportunities, execution remains a significant challenge due to fragmented options and high access barriers.

To address these constraints, Yieldnest, a leading liquid restaking provider, has partnered with Enzyme to enhance and streamline restaking activity.

The solution

To address these challenges, Yieldnest has chosen to leverage Enzyme.Blue to deploy an Enzyme Vault, structuring it as a vehicle that holds a yield strategy—ultimately creating a tailored financial instrument for ynETH holders. How does it work?

The Yieldnest ynETH Vault acts as a dedicated vehicle for ynETH holders looking to maximize the potential of their liquid restaking token. With Enzyme Vault’s native design, restakers can seamlessly deposit their ynETH in just a few clicks. Thanks to Enzyme.Blue, Yieldnest can control deposits and redemptions, ensuring that all contributions are made in the correct asset denomination while maintaining Vault integrity. By depositing their ynETH into the Vault, holders gain access to curated investment opportunities—carefully selected and managed by Yieldnest—allowing them to earn top-tier yields while minimizing exposure to risk and technical complexities.

As an end-to-end platform, Enzyme.Blue provides fund managers with access to over 30 DeFi protocols and 200 assets across Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, and Base. Its powerful analytics and operational flexibility empower Yieldnest with the freedom to execute strategies efficiently and confidently.

The result

By using Enzyme.Blue, Yieldnest has enhanced the benefits of its Liquid Restaking Token by offering a simple and efficient way for holders to generate additional yield—ultimately driving increased restaking activity and accelerating LRT adoption.

For stakers and restakers, additional incentives are essential, as native staking rewards can fluctuate significantly, making yield less predictable. With an Enzyme Vault, deployable in just minutes, you can create a customized financial instrument for your LST and LRT holders—offering a more stable and diversified source of yield alongside native staking rewards.
