EigenLayer rebranded to EigenCloud. $10.2B in TVL as per DefiLlama. Revenue-sharing tokenomics. A full infrastructure platform competing with traditional tech giants. But here's what nobody's talking about: It's still ETH-only. Meanwhile, the restaking narrative quietly went multi-chain. Babylon brought Bitcoin restaking to $1.8B TVL. Jito paired Solana MEV infrastructure with shared security. Even DePIN has its own restaking layer now. Every major L1 ecosystem is racing to make staked assets productive. Except the ones that need it most ICP, BNB, HyperEVM. Same pattern. Billions staked. Almost none of it composable. None of it liquid. None of it moving across chains. LSTs now back nearly 40% of all DeFi collateral. Base staking yields are compressing below 3%. Capital is shifting from simple staking into liquid staking and restaking because single-asset yield isn't enough anymore. That shift is happening on Ethereum. On Solana. On Bitcoin. Non-ETH L1 stakers? Still locked into the same yield they had two years ago. The 2026 thesis is clear: staked assets need to become liquid, composable, and cross-chain. Not just on Ethereum. Everywhere. But that requires liquidity that actually moves. Trustless. Cross-chain. Without bridges that break or wrapped assets that add trust assumptions. That's the gap. That's what we're building at @zkhelixlabs. The liquidity coordination layer that makes staked assets on ICP, Cardano, BNB, HyperEVM, and Ethereum liquid, interoperable, and yield-generating across DeFi.

Institutional capital does not move toward experimentation. It moves toward infrastructure that transforms idle liquidity into predictable, productive financial input. This is where an institutional, multi-chain liquidity coordination layer becomes essential.

Every chain has its own strengths, but liquidity coordination lets those strengths work together. One layer, multiple ecosystems, shared movement.

Most staked assets today are passive. They secure, but they don’t circulate. Our liquidity coordination layer changes that, making capital productive across ecosystems instead of being idle and isolated.

We’ve been heads down building the liquidity coordination layer for web3, a system that lets value move freely across chains. The support from the community on this journey has been incredible, your feedback, ideas, and enthusiasm have driven our progress. Our recent testnet was a major milestone, with thousands of participants helping us take the next step forward. Now, we’re moving into the next phase. Something we’ve been working on for a long time is almost ready. Very soon, we’ll share what’s coming next. Stay tuned.
