Overview

Catalysis Core​

Core Logo

Catalysis Core is the first Security Abstraction Layer that unlocks Unified Access to $20B+ ETH, BTC & SOL-backed Economic Security across major restaking protocols on Ethereum, Bitcoin & Solana.

It introduces a new primitive called Shared Security Abstraction (SSA) that separates application logic from the complexities of underlying restaking infrastructure. By standardizing interactions across protocols like EigenLayer, Symbiotic and SatLayer, Catalysis Core allows applications and networks to consume restaked security through a single, abstract interface.

Core Architecture Overview​

The Catalysis Core is built on three core components:

  1. Networks – Decentralized services, protocols and applications (SSNs) that leverage shared security for verification and decentralization.
  2. Node Operators – Entities that run network software, perform validation tasks and secure them using the Catalysis stack through restaking protocols.
  3. Restaking Protocols – Also known as shared security protocols, these allow stakers to restake assets (LSTs, ERC-20s, etc.) to provide security for network validation. They function as a marketplace, connecting networks, node operators and stakers.

Why build with Catalysis Core?​

Shared security protocols like EigenLayer, Symbiotic and Satlayer have unlocked a new paradigm for decentralized infrastructure by making it easier to bootstrap decentralized networks (SSNs). However, launching and managing an SSN remains complex and resource-intensive.

Teams must navigate a wide range of challenges. This includes integrating with restaking protocols, configuring slashing and reward mechanisms, managing a node operator set and ensuring cross-restaking protocol composability.

Catalysis Core eliminates these barriers, making it easier, faster and more cost-efficient to build and operate SSNs.

Key Benefits​

The key benefits of building an SSN using Catalysis Core include:

  1. Multi-Ecosystem Security: Seamlessly integrate restaking protocols across major PoS chains like Babylon (Bitcoin), Ethereum and Solana.
  2. Accelerated GTM: Launch faster with developer-friendly SDKs, clear documentation and up to 80% savings on SSN development costs.
  3. Unmatched Economic Security: Tap into $20B+ in combined TVL across restaking protocols - ensuring your SSN has the strongest possible security guarantees.
  4. Resilient Infrastructure: Spread risk across multiple restaking protocols, ensuring your SSN is robust and reliable even in adverse conditions across the restaking ecosystem.
  5. Composability at Scale: Unlock composable, interoperable crypto-economic security across restaking protocols.
  6. No Vendor Lock-In: Stay flexible with modular integrations, enabling your SSN to expand beyond one ecosystem.
  7. Dynamic Security Rebalancing: Real-time control to allocate and rebalance security across restaking protocols with a single unified interface.

It isn't just about simplifying SSN development - it’s about unlocking the full potential of shared security.
