Universal restaking protocol Nuffle Labs and the interoperability platform Wormhole have introduced a new solution aimed at unifying the blockchain ecosystem. It enables native cross-chain restaking without the need for asset bridging. This approach is the first of its kind in the restaking ecosystem, allowing assets to be restaked across any Layer 1 or Layer 2 networks. It addresses key challenges such as liquidity fragmentation and interoperability between different blockchain networks.
“This is just the beginning for us at Nuffle. By eliminating the risks associated with traditional token bridging, we’re enabling assets to be restaked from anywhere,” said Altan Tutar, CEO and Co-Founder of Nuffle Labs, in a written statement. “Over time, as every asset gets restaked and the industry becomes more interconnected, our vision is to create an ecosystem where you can do anything from anywhere. Whether it be lending, borrowing, or restaking, we aim to create a global marketplace for all,” he added.
The solution combines Wormhole’s message-passing architecture and Nuffle Labs’ Fast Finality AVS (NFFL) with cross-chain expertise alongside EigenLayer‘s restaking infrastructure. This integration ensures that all tokens provided through Nuffle’s system will be accessible for use across EigenLayer’s 100+ AVSs. By expanding EigenLayer’s ecosystem beyond Ethereum, Nuffle Labs’ AVS facilitates the restaking of assets within EigenLayer’s shared security framework, offering greater opportunities for cross-chain participation and security.
Nuffle Labs And Wormhole Prepare For Testnet Launch Of Their Integration
As the blockchain industry expands, growing from 101 million users in 2021 to over 600 million in 2024, the demand for seamless cross-chain interactions has become increasingly critical. With a market value of $3.72 trillion and over 300 active chains, the ecosystem is calling for more sustainable interoperability solutions.
The collaboration between Nuffle Labs and Wormhole aims to streamline the restaking process for users by enabling cross-chain restaking from any blockchain. Wormhole’s message-passing solution supports Nuffle Labs’ innovative restaking model, offering cost-effective shared security and facilitating smoother cross-chain interactions. Additionally, Nuffle’s NFFL AVS ensures fast finality between chains, improving capital efficiency for token holders.
A testnet for the integration is anticipated to launch in the coming months, with both companies dedicated to advancing blockchain interoperability. Rather than operate in isolated silos, Nuffle Labs and Wormhole aim to reshape the landscape with their generalized interoperability ecosystem, allowing users to restake across chains with enhanced ease and security, thereby fostering greater connectivity within the blockchain ecosystem.
“The Wormhole Foundation is dedicated to connecting every asset, institution, application, and user onchain. Achieving this vision requires core blockchain primitives and adjacent technologies to be seamlessly multichain,” said Robinson Burkey, Co-Founder of Wormhole Foundation, in a written statement. “We are thrilled to collaborate with the Nuffle Labs team and Eigenlayer to bring this vision to life, enabling staking from any chain and further advancing the multichain ecosystem,” he added.
