Renzo Protocol is a liquid restaking token (LRT) provider and strategy manager for EigenLayer and Symbiotic.

## Products

- [Renzo Protocol app](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Renzo): A liquid restaking platform offering automated strategies for ETH restaking on EigenLayer and Symbiotic. (Liquid Staking, Live, Main Product)

## Assets

- [Renzo (REZ)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Renzo): REZ is the governance token of Renzo Protocol, a liquid restaking platform built on EigenLayer. It is used to vote on protocol decisions such as operator whitelisting, AVS selection, risk management frameworks, and treasury allocation. Holders can also restake REZ to mint ezREZ, earning AVS security rewards and a share of protocol fee revenue. (Utility)
- [Renzo Restaked SOL (ezSOL)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Renzo): ezSOL is a liquid restaking token representing a user's restaked SOL position on Renzo Protocol, issued via the Jito Network on Solana. It is used to earn staking, restaking, and MEV rewards, which are automatically compounded into the token's balance. As a reward-bearing token, ezSOL can also be deployed across Solana DeFi protocols such as lending markets and AMMs, letting holders put their restaked position to work without unstaking. (Restaked Tokens)
- [Renzo Restaked LST (pzETH)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Renzo): pzETH is a liquid restaking token representing a user's restaked ETH position on Renzo Protocol within the Symbiotic ecosystem. It is used to earn both staking and restaking rewards while retaining liquidity. Unlike ezETH, pzETH is specifically tied to Symbiotic, allowing holders to access Symbiotic-based restaking yields without locking up their ETH. (Restaked Tokens)
