Key claims
Utility Pool APR is 46.6% with boosted rewards
SD is undervalued versus peers
EigenLayer season will drive LST demand
EigenLayer season will be huge and it will be a major catalyst among multiple verticals. ♾ ✨
One sector that benefits significantly is Liquid $ETH Staking. 🚀
@eigencloud's general-purpose layer for programmable trust lets anyone bootstrap a decentralized network with ease on top of which arbitrary programs can be run. This generalizes Ethereum way beyond the EVM.
The crypto economic security layer is fueled by LSTs, issued by liquid staking protocols like @staderlabs_eth.
As EigenLayer season intensifies and the bull market matures, this will continue to drive LST demand.
Imo, $SD is probably the best play for exposure to the @eigencloud narrative on a LST level. Compared to peers, $SD seems undervalued with a lot of room for growth.
Additionally, $SD holders can now delegate their tokens to the Utility Pool, enabling node operators to borrow $SD.
With boosted rewards to incentivize early depositors, the APR is a whopping 46.6%. Not a bad deal if you're bullish $SD.
