Steps for Acquiring LAT & Inner Workflows

The Liquid AVS Token (LAT) smart contracts utilize EigenLayer’s native smart contracts deployed on the Ethereum blockchain, minimizing implementation risks for users.
Acquiring Liquid AVS Token (LAT) is as simple as clicking a button, with all processes seamlessly handled by EigenExplorer’s smart contracts.
1

Choose Your Desired AVS

Select the AVS you wish to support from the list available on EigenExplorer and click the “Stake” button. This action initiates your participation in the chosen AVS.
2

Automatic Operator Delegation

This step is managed internally by the EigenExplorer smart contracts.
The selection of operators is managed automatically (You don’t actually need to do anything here! Woohoo!). The restaked token is channeled to your chosen AVS through a selection process that prioritizes operators with a high percentage of that AVS’s operator share or those that exclusively operate that specific AVS.
3

Generate Liquid AVS Token

The corresponding amount of LAT is generated as an on-chain representation of the your staked position, along with any rewards that position will accrue.
4

Getting Back Your Staked Token

To retrieve your staked token and rewards, simply trade your LAT on any supported exchange or unbond your LAT on EigenExplorer.

​
Supported Assets

Depending the asset of your choice, there are currently two ways for acquiring a LAT.
1

With AVS Native Token

Users are able to stake their AVS token(s) into the corresponding AVS, receiving the liquid staked equivalent in return. For example, users could deposit the EigenDA token (EIGEN) into EigenDA on EigenExplorer, receiving xEIGEN in return.
2

With LST or Native ETH

Users are also able to deposit LST or native ETH into a specific AVS, with the ETH deposited exclusively amongst operators for that specific AVS. For example, users could stake ETH into EigenExplorer and allocate it to EigenDA, which would be delegated exclusively to EigenDA operators. The user’s stake is siloed to the AVS they wish to support, and they receive xEIGEN in return.
