When looking at @Lorenzo Protocol Lorenzo and its position in the restaking market of 2025, the most noticeable advantage of Lorenzo is that it does not lie in yield, nor in the reward point mechanism or token design, but in the range of assets it can support. While most other LRT protocols are tightly locked into the ETH ecosystem or only support a single type of staking asset, Lorenzo expands directly into three asset groups: ETH, BNB, and other yield-bearing assets.

This is not a random choice. It is a strategy for Lorenzo to become a truly cross-chain standard asset layer, and in the process, expand market share by accessing capital flows that both ETH restaking and BNB staking have never reached.

The first point that creates an advantage for Lorenzo is the unification of the two largest markets in staking: Ethereum and BNB Chain. ETH and BNB represent two communities and two completely different types of capital flows. ETH attracts institutional capital, funds, long-term investors, and a group of users with clear financial behavior.

BNB attracts a huge retail community, especially in Asia, where staking behavior is much more common than in other ecosystems. When Lorenzo supports both ETH and BNB, they not only gather TVL from two ecosystems but also capture two different user behavior patterns — something no single-chain restaking protocol can achieve.

This diversity helps Lorenzo avoid a situation where capital flows in one direction and then exits en masse when the market fluctuates.

The combination of ETH and BNB also brings a deeper strategic advantage: the ability to peg the value of restaked assets under various market conditions.

ETH is the leading asset in on-chain financial markets, with deep liquidity and regarded as the industry standard collateral. BNB operates more sustainably during sideways market phases, as most BNB users tend to accumulate and do not trade continuously.

When Lorenzo combines these two asset groups, the yield and peg of LRT become more stable. A backing system based on a single asset can be highly volatile due to market fluctuations, but multi-asset backing will naturally reduce volatility. This is a significant advantage as the market enters the restaking 2.0 phase, where AVS risk increases and the demand for safe collateral becomes urgent.

Another reason why supporting multiple assets becomes an advantage is the ability to distribute risk. Traditional restaking relies entirely on ETH.

When ETH is highly volatile or when AVS is at risk, the entire LRT system dependent on ETH can quickly lose its peg. Lorenzo, with a mechanism supporting multiple assets, can separate risks by asset class, volatility levels, and user types.

This helps the system not be dependent on the market state of a single token. In fact, the biggest risk of restaking 1.0 is not AVS but the fact that all LRTs use the same type of backing. Lorenzo avoids this issue from the start by designing flexible asset modules.

The fourth advantage — and also the most important factor for Lorenzo to break through in restaking — is the ability to support yield-bearing assets. Yield-bearing assets like stable yield, tokenized bond assets, liquid staking tokens, or collateralized debt are all rapidly growing in on-chain finance.

These assets have natural yield, high stability, and are very good for use as collateral.

When Lorenzo supports this type of asset, they open up a new generation of restaking: restaking where the backing asset is not static. This creates dual yield: yield from the underlying asset and yield from restaking. This model is extremely attractive for structured products, vaults, and credit systems that are forming on Ethereum and Injective.

An LRT capable of turning yield-bearing assets into a backing layer will become the focal point of on-chain finance in 2025.

Supporting yield-bearing assets also paves the way for Lorenzo to participate in markets not directly related to staking.

Many funds and institutional investors do not want to hold ETH but want to hold assets with stable cash flow like RWA. When these assets can be restaked safely, Lorenzo becomes a bridge between the world of traditional assets and the AVS security layer. This is a much larger market than ETH staking.

Restaking ETH is limited to crypto assets, while restaking yield-bearing extends to the entire cash flow asset market — and this can create a breakthrough TVL for Lorenzo.

Another important advantage is the natural multi-chain capability. ETH resides on the Ethereum network. BNB resides on the Binance Chain. Yield-bearing assets can exist on multiple networks simultaneously. When Lorenzo supports all three types of assets, they become a rare multi-chain restaking protocol capable of aggregating capital from multiple chains without needing to build complex bridges or create risk bridges.

Multi-chain is not just about expanding the user base, but also about the survival capability of the protocol in case one chain encounters issues or loses liquidity. A single-chain protocol can boom quickly but can also die quickly when that ecosystem faces risks.

A multi-asset protocol like Lorenzo can maintain liquidity even when the market is fragmented.

Another layer of advantage lies in the degree of composability. When restaked assets can come from multiple sources, multiple chains, and multiple yield models, Lorenzo can integrate with more protocols, more types of products, and open up a new layer of applications: leveraged yield, risk tranching, cross-asset collateral, multi-chain AVS, and even derivative markets based on yield.

A protocol that only supports ETH will not be able to open these products due to a lack of asset diversity.

The true meaning of composability lies not in the number of assets but in the compatibility of different assets within the same framework — something that Lorenzo is building very well.

When combining all the factors — the diversity of the ETH and BNB markets, the durability of multi-asset backing, the ability to unlock yield-bearing, the demand for collateral from DeFi, risk separation, and the degree of natural multi-chain — it is clear that supporting multiple assets is not just a feature of Lorenzo but a strategic advantage shaping the future of the protocol.

In the restaking 2.0 cycle, the protocol that supports the most types of assets, is the most stable, and uses them most effectively will capture the core of the entire market. Lorenzo is very close to that position.
