Ethereum’s future isn’t just about scaling—it’s about securing the next generation of DeFi applications, bridges, and oracles. Restaking sits at the center of that revolution.


In this episode of Restaked: The Restaking Podcast, host Kieran is joined by Anthony Sassano—long-term ETH staker, operator, and host of The Daily Gwei—to explore how restaking is transforming Ethereum into the settlement layer for the world.


Topics we unpack:

• The Bybit hack: What it reveals about DeFi security and censorship risks
• TradFi’s stealth takeover: How institutional players are moving in quietly, and why they’re bullish on Ethereum
• Restaking reality check: Why only a handful of AVSs will deliver sustainable yields—and where the real value will flow
• The Ethereum Foundation: How it’s evolving to meet the needs of a multi-chain, restaked future
• The Layer 1 wars: Why alternative L1s will struggle as Ethereum’s L2s and restaking infrastructure mature
• Moving beyond speculation: What it will take to onboard billions into crypto—and why DeFi’s next chapter is being written now

Known for his deep understanding of staking, protocol infrastructure, and institutional adoption, Anthony brings a balanced, authoritative perspective on Ethereum’s long-term trajectory. In this episode, he unpacks the Bybit hack, the evolution of restaking, and why institutions are doubling down on Ethereum’s future.
