ether.fi Overview

About ether.fi

ether.fi is an Ethereum-based liquid restaking protocol built on EigenLayer that lets users restake ETH and earn rewards while retaining noncustodial control of their assets, receiving the tradable eETH token in exchange for maintaining liquidity. It differentiates itself by supporting redemptions alongside deposits, rather than the one-way lock-ups common among other restaking protocols. The protocol launched its platform in March 2023 and has since grown to hold billions of dollars in total value locked.

DateStageInvestorsRaisedValuationDeal Summary
Feb 2024Series ABullish (lead); CoinFund (lead); Lvna Capital$23M$570Mether.fi is an Ethereum-based liquid restaking protocol powered by EigenLayer, enabling users to restake ETH, earn rewards, and maintain liquidity via the tradable eETH token while retaining noncustodial control. It positions itself as the first, largest, and most trusted protocol in the space, uniquely allowing redemptions alongside deposits, differentiating from speculative one-way options. The protocol leverages Ethereum's proof-of-stake transition and DeFi momentum post-Bitcoin ETF approvals to attract stakers seeking staking and restaking yields. On February 28, 2024, ether.fi raised $27 million across funding rounds, including a $23 million Series A co-led by Bullish Capital (venture arm of Bullish group) and CoinFund, following a $4 million simple agreement for future equity in late 2023. Total raised reached approximately $32 million including other distributions. By early 2024, ether.fi demonstrated explosive traction with total value locked (TVL) surging 15x or 1,500% to $1.6 billion, alongside over 71,000 unique wallets holding eETH; CoinFund noted prior growth to >1.3 million ETH ($4B TVL) in under half a year. It leads the liquid restaking category, with integrations, partnerships, and a roadmap for native productive rewards via EigenLayer AVS, balancing risks like slashing while financializing Ethereum security for modular extensibility. Backers highlight ether.fi's battle-tested team, brand strength, and potential to expand beyond staking into integrated services boosting revenue profiles. The round underscores restaking's role in digital asset infrastructure, solving cold starts for new projects by leveraging Ethereum validators.
Feb 2023SeedChapter One (lead); Node Capital (lead); North Island Ventures (lead); Maelstrom; Arrington XRP Capital; Investment Grade Managed; Legends Group; Kommune.one; Version One Ventures$5M-ether.fi is a liquid staking protocol designed with decentralization at its core, allowing stakers to retain control of their keys while delegating staking to node operators and earning rewards. The protocol launched its platform in March 2023 at ETHDenver, aiming for 100,000 ETH staked by mid-2023. On February 28, 2023, ether.fi completed a $5.3 million seed funding round co-led by North Island Ventures, Chapter One, and Node Capital, with participation from Arrington XRP Capital, Maelstrom, Version One Ventures, Purpose Investments, and others. The funds supported hiring over the next six months and building partnerships with custodians, centralized exchanges, crypto wallets, and hardware wallet apps. The round addressed issues in centralized staking markets by promoting a decentralized approach to ETH staking. Post-round, ether.fi grew significantly, achieving over $10 billion in total value locked on Ethereum and annualized fees of $227.69 million as of recent data. Cumulative fees reached $182.06 million, with TVL concentrated on Ethereum. A subsequent $23 million round occurred in February 2024 led by Bullish Capital and CoinFund.
