Renzo Protocol, a liquid restaking service, raised $17M from notable crypto institutions like Galaxy and Brevan Howard across two funding rounds. The REZ Coin, also known as the Renzo coin, gained visibility due to its integration onto Binance's Launchpool, allowing users to earn Renzo Protocol tokens by staking BNB or FDUSD. However, the airdrop and subsequent Binance listing led to a significant price drop, resulting in Renzo adjusting token schematics to stabilize the price.
Renzo's restaked ETH faced immense volatility, including a brief crash on Uniswap and a depeg to $688. Despite this, they managed to bag $150m in volume post-airdrop. It also debuted at a robust $289M market cap after airdropping the REZ token, supported by further Binance investment. Shortly after, Renzo faced backlash from the community following a 43% drop and issued several measures to address concerns.
Renzo also highlighted its tokenomics and ezPoints claiming process. The EigenLayer's native protocol integrated Chainlink Price Feeds to facilitate streamlined Ethereum liquid restaking. This saw Ethereum stakers migrating from Lido to Ether fi. The Renzo coin was listed as a potential investment in May 2024 among emerging cryptocurrencies. Notably, the Polyhedra Network announced a partnership with Renzo.
