We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Swell to provide in-depth AVS research and strategic allocation recommendations across restaking protocols!

Swell is a non-custodial staking protocol on a mission to deliver the world’s best liquid staking and restaking experience, simplify access to DeFi, and help secure Ethereum and next-gen restaking services. Users can stake or restake ETH to earn both consensus and AVS rewards, receiving yield-bearing liquid tokens (LSTs or LRTs) that can be held or deployed across the broader DeFi ecosystem for additional yield.

Within restaking, Swell offers a growing suite of LRT-related vault products including rswETH, swBTC, and rSWELL, allowing users to restake ETH and WBTC across networks like EigenLayer, Symbiotic, and Karak. These vaults abstract complexity while optimizing yield and managing slashing risk through curated strategies. Swell’s seamless integration with leading restaking protocols positions it as a user-friendly gateway for maximizing restaked yield while supporting network security.

AVS are protocols with deployed infrastructure on restaking protocols, like EigenLayer and Symbiotic, seeking shared security provided by a network of slashable Operators that validate tasks. Particularly with the introduction of Slashing, it becomes imperative for LRTs like Swell to understand and be advised on:

• Protocol-level understanding of AVS risk and reward profiles, to maintain security while boosting liquidity, TVL, and overall capital efficiency

• Ways to minimize portfolio-level correlated slashing and other risks

• Strategic allocation decisions through modeling and agentic simulations, within the context of different restaking protocols
