# Dual Staking

Dual Staking enables blockchains to utilize both their native tokens and restaked ETH to enhance their chain security. This model is especially useful for chains with an existing staking layer based on their native asset, as they can augment this layer with restaked ETH.

**Process Outline:**

1. **Operator Commitment:** EigenLayer operators commit a specified amount of restaked ETH to validators on the native chain.
2. **Guardian Chain Transfer:** The Guardian Chain aggregates this commitment and relays it via IBC to the native chain.
3. **Oracle Conversion:** The native chain employs a price oracle to determine the equivalent value of the restaked ETH in native assets, applying discounts or multipliers as required.
4. **Power Mixing:** The native chain then combines the voting power of native staking with delegated ETH and configures its validator set based on the mix.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ethosstake.com/ethos/integration-options/dual-staking.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
