Restaking

Catalysis pivots to become the first fully onchain risk coverage infrastructure, transforming $20B+ in restaked capital into programmable protection that enables institutional-scale DeFi adoption.

Catalysis introduces a novel abstraction layer for securing Shared Security Networks (SSNs) across multiple restaking protocols. The present research piece explores the roles, incentives, and risk surfaces for each participant in the Catalysis architecture.

By combining Kernel's robust DVN infrastructure with Catalysis's unified security layer, we're creating a world where teams can build universal decentralized networks that source security from multiple chains and scale without friction.

Announcing our partnership with Symbiotic to simplify the adoption of their modular restaking model through developer-friendly tooling and automated security coordination.

In the rapidly evolving world of decentralization, shared security has emerged as a powerful mechanism to bootstrap decentralized protocols and services, requiring innovation around AVS economics and developer experience.
