Key points of the news:

  • Wormhole and Nuffle Labs launch a native multichain restaking solution that eliminates the need for cross-chain bridges.

  • The integration of Wormhole, NUFF Protocol, and EigenLayer allows users to stake without losing the native properties of assets and improves capital efficiency.

  • The solution solves liquidity fragmentation in multichain staking, enabling smoother access to multiple ecosystems.

Wormhole and Nuffle Labs have announced a strategic collaboration to launch a native multichain restaking solution.

The solution is designed to allow users to stake assets from any blockchain without the need to use cross-chain asset bridges. It aims to simplify the staking process and address the liquidity fragmentation that has affected multichain ecosystems until now.

The integration combines three protocols: Wormhole’s message-passing architecture, Nuffle Labs’ NUFF Protocol, and EigenLayer’s staking infrastructure. Together, these components allow users to stake across multiple chains while maintaining the native properties of assets and eliminating the complexities of traditional bridges. The solution offers a more efficient and secure way to connect users to staking protocols across different networks.

Wormhole and EigenLayer Redefine the Limits of Staking

EigenLayer, an Ethereum restaking protocol, is the first ecosystem to integrate this new solution. With a total value locked exceeding $18.4 billion, EigenLayer enables assets to be connected to over 100 actively validated services, extending possibilities well beyond the Ethereum network. Thanks to the elimination of cross-chain bridge requirements, capital efficiency will improve, and risks associated with traditional staking solutions will be reduced.

Eigen Foundation Launches Multi-Stakeholder Protocol Council to Strengthen EigenLayer Governance

One of the main benefits of the integration is the ability to resolve liquidity fragmentation that often affects users participating in multichain staking solutions. Previously, assets locked in a specific pool could only benefit users within that network, limiting their use in other ecosystems. Now, with this new solution, liquidity is unified, allowing users to participate regardless of which chain their assets are on.

In addition, users will be able to benefit from fast transaction finality across multiple chains and take advantage of the shared security of EigenLayer’s ecosystem. The Wormhole solution will mark the beginning of a new era in multichain staking, enabling greater interoperability and accessibility.
