Restaking
Restaking is using coins that are already staked to secure additional services, such as oracles or bridges, in exchange for extra rewards. It can be done with natively staked ETH or with liquid staking tokens.
What it means for you. Each extra service you secure adds another set of rules under which your stake can be cut, so one fault can cost you across several services at once. Withdrawals can also take longer because of unbonding periods. Check which services your stake backs and the conditions for penalties before restaking.

Liquid restaking token
A liquid restaking token is a tradable token you receive when your staked ETH, or a liquid staking token, is restaked through a protocol to secure additional services. It aims to earn both staking and restaking rewards while staying usable elsewhere in DeFi.
What it means for you. The risks stack: the staking provider's, the restaking protocol's, each service your stake secures, and the token's own market. A slashed operator's loss is shared, withdrawals wait through an unbonding period, and under stress the token can trade below the ETH behind it.
