Renzo is a cross-chain liquid staking protocol, which allows users to stake various assets like ETH and other liquid staking tokens across platforms such as Ethereum, Arbitrum, and BNB Chain. The protocol, operating on the EigenLayer blockchain, enables users to earn ezETH and ezPoint rewards through staking, aiming for higher returns than traditional staking methods.
The project supports a unique system called Actively Validated Services (AVS), ensuring higher yields by facilitating a streamlined method for engaging in restaking activities. Renzo also focuses on transforming staked assets into liquid forms, enabling participation in DeFi systems while continuing to earn staking rewards. This flexibility is augmented by strategic partnerships with entities like Connext and Chainlink to support operations across multiple blockchain network.
Renzo's governance and utility token, REZ, allows holders to vote on key protocol decisions and engage with various platform features. This framework not only enhances the user experience by providing more control over their investments but also contributes to the protocol’s adaptability and growth within the Ethereum ecosystem.
