Category: Community Proposals 3

Description:
Greetings Moonwell family, Justin from Ether.fi here with a proposal for you! This proposal aims to add a new market for weETH on the Base network. This proposal includes a detailed risk assessment, benefits to the Moonwell community, and required information to facilitate the listing process.

Required Information

General

  • Token Asset Name: weETH
  • Description of the Project and the Token: Ether.fi is a decentralized, non-custodial liquid staking protocol built on Ethereum, allowing users to stake their ETH and participate in the DeFi ecosystem without losing liquidity. The protocol’s eETH is a liquid restaking token (weETH is the non-rebasing equivalent), serving as a representation of ETH staked on the Beacon Chain, which rebases daily to reflect the associated staking rewards. Users can deposit ETH into the liquidity pool on Ethereum Mainnet to mint eETH, hold eETH to accrue rewards, and use eETH within DeFi or swap it back to ETH at any time via the liquidity pool. The protocol currently employs a permissioned validator set, transitioning to permissionless based on the protocol roadmap. ETH staked through the Ether.fi liquidity pool accrues normal Ethereum staking rewards and will also be natively restaked with EigenLayer. Staking with eETH on Ether.fi automatically natively restakes that ETH to EigenLayer and accrues normal staking rewards while allowing users to keep composability on their eETH in other DeFi protocols. The eETH contract has been live since June 2023, with weETH launching to the open market on November 15th, 2023, and has approximately 1,814,766.66 ETH held within it. Being a liquid representation of staked Ethereum, the price of the token is aligned with the price of ETH. Through these mechanisms, eETH acts as a conduit for individuals to engage in Ethereum’s staking & restaking process with added liquidity, making it easier for them to enter and exit staking positions while also benefiting from boosted rewards.
  • Benefits to the Moonwell Community: Ether.fi is looking to enhance liquidity for weETH on Base. Incentivizing a Moonwell pool will continue to boost the liquidity of the LRT on Base. Higher liquidity ensures that traders and investors can easily enter or exit positions, which is essential for the overall usability and attractiveness of the LRT token within the L2 DeFi ecosystem. Users who deposit into Moonwell will also be able to earn Etherfi points and Eigenlayer points, which count towards our Season 2 community allocations. Having weETH on Moonwell will allow users to earn Etherfi points and Eigenlayer points while supplying and borrowing against weETH. This can be done by depositing weETH onto Moonwell and borrowing against it.
