Overview
The Catalysis Network ecosystem consists of several key stakeholders, each playing a crucial role in maintaining security, providing coverage, and ensuring the network's decentralized operation.
Key Stakeholders
# | Stakeholder | Description |
---|---|---|
1 | Delegator (Restaker / Restaking Curators / LRTs) | - Supplies restaked assets that back cover pools (Capacity Providers) - Earns yield + underwriting fees in exchange for bearing loss risk - May act directly or via LRTs or defi risk managers - Can delegate pricing / underwriting decisions to a restaking vault curator |
2 | Restaking Protocol (Infra) | - Custodies and tracks restaked collateral, enforces slashing - Exposes reward / slashing hooks that Catalysis smart-contracts call - Serves as the coordination layer between Catalysis and restakers |
3 | Coverpool Curator | - Creates individual cover pools (risk scope, coverage limits, exclusions) - Prices risk and sets premiums using on-/off-chain data & actuarial models (Underwriter) - Continuously monitors pool health, updates parameters, and flags claims for adjudication |
4 | Catalysis | - Smart-contract infrastructure that orchestrates the marketplace - In the event of a payout, it routes restaker capital into cover pools and facilitates payout liquidity - Automates premium collection, claims distribution and reward accounting - Hosts claims-processing framework & optional legal guarantor / SPV wrappers |
5 | Coverage Client (Institutions, DeFi Protocols) | - Entity purchasing protection (e.g., credit borrower, custodian, RWA holder) - Pays premiums for defined loss cover - Might need to submit claims when trigger events occur - Become policy holders once policy is issued |
