While Renzo did not clarify how it will use the fresh capital to expand its restaking services, the protocol urged users to stay tuned for upcoming updates.
“Renzo is making restaking accessible for everyone!” The post read. “Pioneering native restaking from rollups with $1B+ restaked from Ethereum L2s alone. Renzo has an extensive suite of products on the way, stay tuned for more updates!”
Renzo’s latest funding rounds follow $3.2 million raised in January via Maven11, Figment Capital, and Binance Labs. DeFiLlama data shows that the protocol has amassed nearly $3.6 billion in total value locked and a market cap of $111.85 million.
