⚙️ How Ethera Works

Ethera simplifies the complex world of restaking into a single, user-friendly interface while maximizing flexibility and yield opportunities.

1. Stake ETH (or BNB) via Ethera

Users deposit ETH (on Ethereum or Arbitrum) or BNB (on BNB Chain) into Ethera. In return, they receive Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs):

• eraETH for ETH deposits

• eraBNB for BNB deposits

These tokens represent users' staked positions and can be freely used across DeFi—lending, trading, or leveraging—as they continue to accrue staking and restaking rewards.

2. Restaking Through EigenLayer

Behind the scenes, Ethera automatically restakes the deposited ETH on EigenLayer, a restaking infrastructure that enables securing AVSs (Actively Validated Services). Users gain exposure to additional rewards generated from validating these services—beyond the standard Ethereum staking yield.

Unlike traditional restaking interfaces, Ethera abstracts away the complexity of selecting operators or managing restaking preferences. The protocol dynamically routes restaked assets to the most optimal configurations, balancing security, yield, and availability.

3. Multi-Chain Support

Ethera is built with cross-chain restaking in mind. Currently, it supports:

• Ethereum Mainnet

• BNB Smart Chain

• Arbitrum

This flexibility allows users to restake assets regardless of where they’re held, and empowers developers to integrate Ethera's LSTs into DeFi ecosystems across multiple chains.
