# RESTAKING ETHEREUM

**ReStaking** allows users to stake their assets, such as ETH, not just to secure the blockchain (as with traditional staking) but to extend the security to other decentralized services and protocols, known as Actively Validated Services (AVS).

**Why ReStaking Benefits AVADO Users**\
AVADO users can take their staking strategy to the next level by becoming **Node Operators** for Aqua Patina. By running the Aqua Patina package on their AVADO device, users can not only secure their own staked ETH but also participate in **ReStaking**, supporting decentralized services (AVS) and earning additional rewards. This allows AVADO users to maximize returns while contributing to the decentralization of the network.

For more details on Aqua Patina and how to set up the Aqua Patina node, follow the step-by-step guide on the following pages
