How quickly does restaking APY recover post‑crash?
The recovery speed of restaking APY post-crash is slower and more uncertain than that of traditional staking. While native ETH staking APY would recover organically as network usage returns, a restaking crash has a more complex recovery path. It requires the restoration of two key elements: technical confidence in the AVS ecosystem (especially if the crash was triggered by a slashing event) and economic demand for restaking services. The latter can be slow to return if participants are wary of residual systemic risks. A V-shaped recovery is unlikely unless the crash was purely market-driven and brief. A more probable scenario is a slower, U-shaped recovery as the ecosystem implements mitigations, audits are completed, and trust is gradually rebuilt, delaying the full normalization of APY.
