Binance Launchpool, the leading global crypto exchange Binance’s platform for boosting user participation in the crypto ecosystem, has introduced Renzo (EZ) as its 53rd project.
What is Renzo?
Renzo is a cross-chain liquid staking protocol built on the EigenLayer blockchain. It allows users to stake various assets like ETH and other liquid staking tokens (LSTs) across popular platforms including Ethereum, Arbitrum, and BNB Chain. Users who stake their assets on Renzo are rewarded with ezETH, which can further generate ezPoint rewards for potential future airdrops and restaking opportunities.
By optimizing capital utilization, Renzo empowers users to maximize their return on investment (ROI). Currently, Renzo ranks as the third-largest project in the Liquid Staking segment based on Total Value Locked (TVL), highlighting its growing popularity and user trust.
How Does Renzo Work?
Built on the innovative EigenLayer blockchain, Renzo functions as a Liquid Derivatives platform. It acts as a critical interface for the entire EigenLayer ecosystem by ensuring Actively Validated Services (AVS). This unique approach enables Renzo to offer significantly higher returns compared to traditional ETH staking methods.
To maintain balance, Renzo mints an equivalent amount of ezETH for every deposited LST or ETH. Designed specifically for Ethereum restaking, a previously underserved market area, Renzo leverages smart contracts and operational nodes for the effective implementation of restaking strategies. It also functions as an on-ramp and off-ramp for users entering and exiting the staking process.
The withdrawal process is influenced by restaking strategies and EigenLayer’s requirements, with a minimum duration of 7 days and variations depending on the chosen AVS. Importantly, Renzo guarantees users receive the total rewards generated by EigenLayer. User-paid fees contribute to the protocol treasury and compensate Renzo node operators.
In essence, Renzo not only provides an accessible entry point for users to explore Ethereum restaking, but also offers a clear exit strategy. This dual functionality positions Renzo as a valuable tool for anyone interested in maximizing their returns through Ethereum restaking.
Renzo ezPoints
Since the official Beta launch of Renzo on December 18, 2023, users holding ezETH in their wallets automatically earn 1 Renzo ezPoint per hour per ezETH held. Renzo also runs ezPoints promotions, such as offering an additional 200 ezPoints for every 1 ETH deposited within a specific timeframe.
However, Renzo strictly prohibits users from exploiting the system by repeatedly buying and selling ezETH to earn multiple rewards. Any user caught engaging in such activities will be excluded from the ezPoints program.
Here’s a breakdown of how users can earn ezPoints:
Holding ezETH: Users automatically earn 1 ezPoint per hour per ezETH held.
Providing Liquidity: Liquidity providers on DEX pools earn double the ezPoints (2x).
Referral Program: Users can earn 10% of the ezPoints generated by users they refer who join and deposit ETH into Renzo.
The system’s points accumulation feature incentivizes user activity and participation. This includes holding ezETH, providing liquidity on DEX pools, and referring new users to the Renzo platform.
