Project Roadmap
Ether.fi began as a delegated‑staking service and is maturing towards a fully permissionless restaking protocol on Ethereum. Today, users deposit ETH into a LiquidityPool, which creates and funds validators while allowing users to retain control over their withdrawal credentials.
Phase 1
✅ Completed[Deleg8] Delegate Staking
- Release of ether.fi Desktop App
- Delegated staking via an auction mechanism
- Withdrawals of the staking rewards and the unstaked ETH
- ether.fi Transferrable NFT (T-NFT) and Bond NFT (B-NFT)
- ether.fi protocol treasury contract
Phase 2
✅ Completed[Pool Fiesta] Pooled Liquid Staking
- Integration of Oracle for validator nodes information
- Integration with EigenLayer's ReStaking
- ether.fi Liquid ReStaking Token (LRT) token, eETH and weETH
- ether.fi protocol treasury management contract
- DeFi integrations
Phase 3
🚀 In Progress[Permission-less] Node Staking
- Integration of Distributed Validator Technology
- ether.fi institutional-grade permission-less node staking
- Add the permissioned DVT validators
User Roles
Depositors/Stakers
Users who deposit ETH (or other supported assets) into the LiquidityPool. Depositors receive eETH shares and may mint Membership NFTs to track their stake, loyalty points and tier level.
Node operators
Independent or permissioned entities who operate validators using DVT clusters. They earn a share of protocol rewards in exchange for maintaining validator uptime and security.
Restaking services
Actively Validated Services (AVSs) on EigenLayer that use ether.fi's pooled stake for additional applications. Rewards and slashing penalties from restaking are socialized across depositors.
