Simplifying Jito’s Solana Restaking Protocol

Restaking is a blockchain-native method that allows end-users to simultaneously stake the same tokens on the main blockchain and other protocols built on top, securing multiple networks at once. Applications such as bridges, oracles, and interoperability infrastructure benefit from restaking by renting security from the underlying network. This benefits these applications because they no longer have to spend time recruiting a decentralized set of validators and stakers, and can instead focus entirely on their product development. The payments from these applications to the underlying network is returned to the stakers as restaking rewards. In other words, stakers are being rewarded for sharing the security of the underlying network. However, restaking also comes with increased risks, particularly in the form of slashing. Slashing is a mechanism used in PoS blockchains to penalize validators who fail to act in the best interest of the network. In the context of restaking, the risk of slashing is increased due to the additional commitments made by the staker. For a more detailed introduction on restaking and the need for shared security, please see InfStones’ recent article on Symbiotic here.

Simplifying Proof of Liquidity - Berachain Primer

Berachain is a Layer-1 blockchain built on the Cosmos SDK, fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). It aims to transform liquidity management in decentralized finance (DeFi) through its innovative Proof of Liquidity (PoL) consensus mechanism and tri-token economic model. Traditional Proof of Stake (PoS) systems often misalign incentives between validators and applications.

Comparing the Top Node-as-a-Service Providers for Blockchain Node Sales Projects

What are Node Sales? Before now, blockchain projects heavily relied on methods like ICOs (initial coin offerings) and token sales to raise funds. However, one common drawback of these traditional approaches is the lack of meaningful engagement for early supporters. On the other hand, Node sales offer a more interactive and rewarding experience. Node sales allow users to purchase licenses to operate a blockchain node and become direct participants in the network's operations. Compared to ICOs, node sales provide long-term engagement with the network and encourage a community that actively contributes to the success of the blockchain. They also present a lower risk for investors, as node operators are rewarded for their continued involvement. In contrast, ICO participants often see volatility in token prices without direct engagement with the platform.

Understanding EigenLayer Programmatic Incentives v1: How to Participate

The Eigen Foundation recently announced a new Programmatic Incentives v1 program to reward stakers and operators for supporting Actively Validated Services (AVSs) via a continuous weekly reward system.

Unpacking Symbiotic’s Approach to Shared Security (Part 1)

The Need for Restaking Blockchain developers building new protocols that interact with Ethereum require a trustless way to validate all the data that originates off-chain. In other words, developers have the difficult task of bootstrapping their own decentralized network of computers to validate information and provide consensus, including determining how to incentivize other users to join their networks and run their node software on their machines. The Ethereum network already has a massive decentralized network of validators with over 1 million active nodes. Ethereum uses a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, meaning node operators stake capital in the form of ETH to participate, earning rewards for securing the network and facing a loss of financial capital (i.e., slashing) if they misbehave. There's currently over 32M ETH, worth over USD 110B, staked to secure the Ethereum network.
