Fresh off a $125M Series C, @gauntlet_xyz runs every allocation through one question first: can the capital come back out.
@CarsonMBrown breaks base:0x000000000001cdb57e58fa75fe420a0f4d6640d5 down end to end: how markets get picked, monitored, and exited when an exploit hits.

1/ Today, @symbioticfi Restaking Vaults went live on Mainnet
We launched five Restaking Vaults on Symbiotic, building on over a year of deep research exploring restaking risk, optimizing network and operator allocation, and examining collateral health.

1/ LRT Risk Dashboard: Withdrawal Data
Now that major LRTs support withdrawals, we've added withdrawal data to the dashboard. By analyzing queue size and duration, we see:
• EtherFi quickest to process withdrawals
• Renzo queue size shrinking
• Swell batches withdrawals

7.6% of EIGEN rewards have been claimed on behalf of @puffer_finance and @swellnetworkio through Aera vaults.
Claimed rewards are consolidated into two isolated vaults to maximize efficiency, minimizing the need to consolidate transactions afterward.
My face might have been showing the jetlag, but I promise I was having a great time discussing LRTfi with these great people at @KelpDAO's event in Singapore!
The Future of LRTfi panel featured @defiyaco from @LidoFinance, @CarsonMBrown from @gauntlet_xyz and @bryancolligan from @compoundfinance, moderated by @0xArchana.
Collectively, the panellists shared important insights on the evolution of DeFi, rewards and unlocking utility for users, with security and risk as key themes.

1/ Last month, @swellnetworkio introduced swBTC, the first Bitcoin LRT to offer restaking yield from the Ethereum ecosystem.
What might have been lost in the announcement is that an Aera vault sits at the center of swBTC's architecture.
A brief 🧵 on how our vaults enhance swBTC...

The flexibility of Aera’s configurable, non-custodial vaults is coming in handy for our friends in the restaking world.

Couldn't agree more with this review
AVSs with active operator sets will definitely make more fees than passive sets
These AVSs will have specialized operators. As a result, high performing AVSs wont share operators with other AVSs. This mitigates the simultaneous attack vector Taurun has brought up before
Centralization is the big question here. IMO it should be battled by reducing barriers to entry for new operators, assuming that the system has a proper incentives/penalties system in place

EigenDA is rolling out mainnet rewards, and our customers' vaults are primed for action.
@puffer_finance's Aera vault claimed 0.004564 WETH without their team needing to lift a finger, and it's capable of much more.
Aera's programmable, non-custodial vaults can seamlessly manage restaking rewards, including capital-efficient conversion to base assets.
In the coming week, we'll publish a deep dive exploring Aera for restaking rewards management.

1/ Collateral health is a crucial variable impacting AVS economic security.
In a blog published today, we suggest a comprehensive framework to evaluate collateral health by exploring:
• POS collateral mechanism design
• Collateral risk models
• ETH-backed vs. non-ETH-backed collateral & dual staking
