EigenCloud vs 
Lido DAO
Staking against restaking. Lido stakes your ETH to secure Ethereum and hands you a liquid token. EigenLayer lets already-staked ETH be pledged again to secure additional services, earning extra reward for accepting additional slashing conditions. The extra yield is not free money — it is payment for taking on more ways to lose the principal, layered on top of each other.
