Ether.fi Splits Staking and Restaking, Introduces Separate weETHs Token

Ether.fi announced a structural change that separates its staking and restaking services. Previously, holding weETH provided automatic exposure to both ETH staking rewards and restaking yields within a single token.

The protocol now designates weETH exclusively as a liquid staking token. A new asset, weETHs, built on the Symbiotic framework, will carry the restaking exposure. The team explained the move as an effort to separate different risk and return profiles for users.

According to the announcement, the protocol’s total value locked remains around $3.55 billion. The split is designed to give holders clearer choices between the simpler staking model and the more complex restaking strategy.
