OKX Ventures Announces Investment in ether.fi, a Native Liquid Restaking Protocol on Ethereum

OKX Ventures announced today that it has invested in ether.fi, a decentralized, non-custodial delegated staking protocol with a liquid staking derivative token.

ether.fi is a protocol that allows users to stake ETH and receive eETH, a natively restaked liquid staking token that fuels DeFi and decentralizes Ethereum. When a user holds eETH, they receive ETH staking rewards, ether.fi points and EigenLayer points. In addition, they retain custody of their token and can engage in various DeFi applications with partners such as Aave and Pendle.

ether.fi has also entered into a strategic partnership with OKX Wallet. Central to this partnership is the ability for users to connect their OKX Wallet directly with the ether.fi interface. Additionally, users will be able to mint eETH directly from the OKX Wallet.
