What is Liquid Restaking Governance Tokens?

Liquid restaking governance tokens are issued by protocols that let users restake staked ETH or other proof-of-stake assets through platforms like EigenLayer while retaining a liquid derivative token representing their position. The governance token itself typically confers voting rights over protocol parameters such as supported restaking strategies, operator whitelists, fee structures, and treasury allocation, and may also capture a share of protocol revenue generated from actively validated services (AVS) rewards. These tokens trade separately from the liquid restaking receipt tokens (e.g., LRTs) and derive value primarily from governance authority and fee-sharing rights rather than from the underlying restaked collateral.
