EigenLayer’s total value locked rose sharply after the protocol temporarily removed its deposit cap for liquid staking token restaking pools. Blockworks reported that TVL increased from $2.16 billion to $3.84 billion in 24 hours, citing DeFiLlama data, while other contemporaneous reports said inflows accelerated quickly once the cap was lifted and deposits reopened. The move mattered because EigenLayer is the leading Ethereum restaking protocol, and the cap removal signaled a shift from a controlled rollout toward broader access for users and partner pools. Coverage from the period said EigenLayer framed the change as a temporary “uncap” intended to stimulate organic demand and prepare for a future with permanently removed limits, while also adding new partners such as Frax Finance, Liquid Collective, and Mantle.
