7 restaking listed for Singapore
In ChainChoice’s published ranking order, from this category’s 7 providers: those whose terms exclude Singapore are removed; naming Singapore or a region that covers it counts the same, and those whose terms do not state it come last. Each chip names the basis: a dated check, a region listing, or the provider's own claim.
#1 for SingaporeEigenLayer (EigenCloud) native restaking#1 globallyProvider states broad availability The base economic-security layer most of this category routes through, and the only member that publishes its slashing and withdrawal parameters as numbers you can read straight off the deployed contracts — 126000 / 100800 / 100800 / 50400 blocks, all four re-confirmed onchain on 16 August 2026. Native ETH is also the one strategy EigenLayer refuses to let an AVS redistribute, so a native restaker's downside is destruction, never transfer to a named third party. The cost is that you must pick an operator, and the operator — not the protocol — sets how much notice you get before your ETH becomes slashable somewhere new.
Slashing surface — 8/10Worst case exit — 7/10#2 for SingaporeSymbiotic#2 globallyLists Asia; Singapore not individually verified The only venue in the category with a veto layer between an accusation and your loss, and the only one publishing a per-vault exit clock as machine-readable data — but its ETH restaking book is $6.3M of a $402.9M protocol (its own API, 28 September 2026) whose own homepage no longer says the word restaking.
Incident record — 9/10Slashing surface — 7/10#3 for Singaporeether.fi#3 globallyProvider states broad availability The category's exit, not its entry: ether.fi has hard-disabled slashing exposure on its ~$3.33B flagship weETH and is winding EigenLayer to zero, leaving restaking confined to two small Veda vaults it has largely stopped maintaining — weETHs (about $22.7M on 28 September 2026, Symbiotic, now routed into a credit chain ending at a prime broker) and weETHk (now marked "deprecated and is no longer accepting deposits."; its venue, Karak, has since rebranded to OpenGDP and left restaking).
Incident record — 8/10Slashing surface — 5/10#4 for SingaporePuffer Finance (pufETH)#4 globallyProvider states broad availability Native liquid restaking on EigenLayer that prices and times both exit routes on a single docs page, then never names one AVS, operator or slasher for the second-layer risk it pays you to take.
Worst case exit — 7/10Incident record — 6/10#5 for SingaporeRenzo (ezETH)#5 globallyLists Asia; Singapore not individually verified EigenLayer liquid restaking wrapper whose withdrawal docs publish and attribute every leg of the exit, wrapped around a protocol that names no AVS it actually secures and that renamed itself Renzo Finance on 9 September 2026, a rebrand whose announcement and new docs never mention ezETH or restaking.
Worst case exit — 7/10Incident record — 6/10#6 for SingaporeSwell (rswETH)#6 globallyLists Asia; Singapore not individually verified A live EigenLayer-native LRT inside an abandoned shell: rswETH still redeems, its operator set and withdrawal disclosure are better than the category average, but the company has moved to Faro on Hyperliquid, the marketing page overstated the book 9.1x on 28 September 2026, and every risk page is two years old.
Worst case exit — 7/10Incident record — 7/10#7 for SingaporeKelp DAO (rsETH)#7 globallyProvider states broad availability The second-largest ETH restaking wrapper, restored and minting on Ethereum mainnet at $1,118.6M (DefiLlama, 29 September 2026) after the largest DeFi loss of 2026 — with unusually complete infrastructure disclosure, and a vendor record that never states the USD loss, never states that its five advertised L2 deposit pools are paused, never states that mainnet withdrawals were paused for 26 days, and never states who paid to put the backing back.
