Restaking

Collateral used to mint lvlUSD will be deposited into protocols like Symbiotic, Karak, and Eigenlayer where they will be used to secure AVSs.

How restaking works

  1. When users mint, their collateral will be sent to the LevelReserveManager and deposited into approved yield sources.

  2. The Level operator multisig will periodically allocate the underlying collateral to vaults on restaking protocols delegated to Level's operator partners. Level plans on supporting Eigenlayer, Symbiotic, and Karak initially.

    1. To accommodate rebasing tokens like Aave's aTokens, underlying collateral may be wrapped ERC20s deployed by Level.

  3. Though each has its nuances, assets allocated to restaking vaults (also sometimes known as strategies) let decentralized networks (aka AVSs) and operators for these networks opt into using the vaults for economic security

  4. To facilitate redemptions, the Level multisig can also withdraw assets from each restaking network periodically. Restaking protocols implement a cooldown period on redemptions (typically 7-10 days).
