Gauntlet Restaking Vaults
Levered ETH strategies drive staking innovation
We’ve pioneered research in the burgeoning field of pooled cryptoeconomic security. Restaking vaults serve as a flexible staking layer to connect collateral to networks. Protocols get higher capital efficiency and security. Capital allocators get higher returns relative to direct staking.
We use our knowledge to curate strategies for a variety of liquid staking tokens across risk profiles, leveraging slashable and non-slashable networks alike.

Our Partners
Vault curation is critical to restaking’s longterm success as a DeFi primitive.
We ensure pooled collateral is judiciously allocated, capitalize on slashable networks, and minimize downside.

Our Approach
Powering new DeFi primitives through inimitable research
Minimax Allocation
We employ a combination of on and offchain controls to enhance monitoring and slashing response. Our minimax strategy minimizes for possible losses on worst-case/longtail scenarios while ensuring optimal yield capture.
Network/Operator Mix
We vet every network and operator we work with through our due diligence process. We factor in whether the network is slashable or not, fee generation, incentives, and how these variables contribute to net yield and risk.
Pristine Collateral
We carefully select restaking collateral by considering liquidity on decentralized exchanges, market capitalization, withdrawal mechanisms, and other factors.
