Now is not the time for a restaking revival
Ethereum faces declining network activity and risks becoming inaccessible without meaningful changes. The ecosystem requires fresh ideas to support innovation and unify its fragmented state. Based applications (bApps) utilize Ethereum's validator set for security, enabling scalable and cost-effective development. Current options for builders, restaking and self-bootstrapping, present limitations and risks for both builders and validators. bApps offer a more accessible alternative, allowing protocols to build securely while preserving Ethereum's network effects. They promote a synergistic environment, transforming competition into collaboration, which enhances scalability and value. Addressing fragmentation is essential for Ethereum's growth, and bApps provide a secure, low-cost solution to improve user and developer experiences.
