ETH Yield on EigenLayer

TL;DR: We are excited to announce that 3Jane just sold ~$2.6M in ETH call options on EigenLayer! Depositors earned ~8% APY in real eETH yield on top of staking + restaking yield. 3Jane is the very first to unlock $ETH yield on >$20B of restaked $ETH via financial derivatives.

Introduction

Restaking is a ~$20B industry growing ~15x year-to-date and capturing ~15% of the ETH market. For now, the restaking industry is 100% bootstrapped by risk-free yield (points). In order for EigenLayer to cross the chasm and cement itself as a fundamental crypto primitive it must eventually facilitate scalable economic activity. There are two ways to achieve this

  1. AVS Yield - secure other cryptoeconomic systems in exchange for slashing risk. Yield source: AVS security budget.

  2. Derivatives Yield - earn the funding rate or sell volatility in exchange for financial risk. Read more. Yield Source: funding rate / options premiums.

While the EigenLayer team is busy with solution #1, 3Jane is executing on solution #2.

3Jane: Derivatives Yield

3Jane is a crypto-native derivatives protocol built on restaking. 3Jane unlocks a novel derivatives yield layer by enabling the collateralization of all exotic yield-bearing ETH variants in *options contracts*. As a result, restakers can earn +10-15% APY in ETH yield on top of staking/restaking yield.
