The Rewards update enables AVSs to provide rewards to stakers and operators and the UI upgrade provides stakers and operators a frontend to track and claim rewards.
Why
Previously, AVSs did not have the ability to directly reward
EigenFi yield is heating up🔥
• AVS rewards live on mainnet
• 250+ teams building AVSs
• ~4% EIGEN supply will be distributed to restakers
For CDPs, restaking yield means:
• Self repaying loans: yield offsets interest payments
• Levering up produces higher APYs
The rise of Ethereum's restaking narrative has produced new collateral for stablecoins - liquid restaking tokens.

Emergence of Offchain Restaking Agreements Between AVSs & LRTs
Major AVSs and LRTs are circumventing EL as a pricing venue for ETH economic security; it makes sense, in certain scenarios AVSs will want a fixed rate for a certain amount of economic security for a given duration.

Right, so this worries me. Because it feels like an ouroboros: the value of crypto tokens is that you can use them to earn yield which is paid for by... people trading crypto tokens.

structures credit for LSTs/LRTs to efficiently manage liquidity across venues using a network of solvers.
But first, our thoughts:
Restaking platforms are demand-constrained marketplaces for cryptoeconomic security.

Restaking yield = payments from AVSs demanding that security.
Thinking about the economics of
