# Delegating Restaked ETH with EigenLayer

## Step 1. Restaking on EigenLayer

<Tip>
  **Prerequisites**

  You have a web3 wallet (e.g. Coinbase Wallet) and have previously [Native restaked Ether](https://docs.eigenlayer.xyz/eigenlayer/restaking-guides/restaking-user-guide/native-restaking/) (ETH) or have Liquid Staking Tokens (LST) that are restaked. Deposits for LSTs to be restaked are [currently paused](https://app.eigenlayer.xyz/status) as of date of posting (Apr 9, 2024).
</Tip>

1. Navigate to the EigenLayer App and click on the **Restake** tab.

2. Click on your relevant asset (i.e. ETH)

3. Select the **Amount** and click **deposit**. If all looks correct, confirm the transaction through your wallet

4. When navigating back to the **Restake** tab you should now see the total amount that was restaked. Over time, you will see EigenLayer Points earned from this restaking activity

## Step 2. Delegate to the Coinbase Operator

1. Navigate to the [EigenLayer Operator Tab](https://app.eigenlayer.xyz/operator)
