DeFAI & Restaking Day is the ultimate dev-focused Token2049 side event set to foster cross-chain dialogue between Ethereum, Solana, and Bitcoin, exploring their perspectives on restaking and DeFA with speakers from Eigen, Etherfi, Byzantine, SatLayer, Catalysis Network. “DeFAI & Restaking highlights the ongoing evolution and maturation of the restaking narrative, a dominant blockchain trend from 2020 to 2024. Initially capturing extensive attention due to substantial shifts in TVL, restaking continues to evolve significantly in 2025, contrary to perceptions of diminishing relevance” - Polina Sintyurihina, event producer of DeFAI & Restaking. Currently, the restaking ecosystem is addressing more concrete issues, including slashing mechanisms and expanding integrations with ecosystems such as Solana and Bitcoin
