DOUBTFUL — EigenLayer
Restaking protocol — allows ETH stakers to restake and earn additional yields
Screening Criteria
- Novel security infrastructure ✅
- Layered yield on staking — riba concerns ⚠️
- Restaking amplifies yield exposure ⚠️
- Multiple yield sources compound complexity ⚠️
- Scholar consensus not yet established ⚠️
Scholar’s Note
EigenLayer's restaking mechanism allows ETH stakers to earn additional yields by securing other protocols. The layered yield model is contested by Islamic scholars — some view it as compounding riba-adjacent returns. Classified as doubtful until further scholarly review.
