Restaking & Staking — LSTs, LRTs & AVS Infra, Built by Cowchain
For teams building staking and restaking products. We design, build and ship liquid staking/restaking tokens, AVS integrations and staking platforms — and rescue stalled builds.

In short
Cowchain builds staking and restaking platforms — liquid staking tokens (LSTs) and liquid restaking tokens (LRTs), EigenLayer-style restaking and AVS development, reward distribution, validator tooling and staking dashboards — from architecture through audit to mainnet.

Why now
~$0Bthe EigenLayer-led restaking market — AVS security as a new primitive.
Restaking turned staked capital into a security marketplace. The EigenLayer-led restaking market scaled into the tens of billions, with roughly $30B in liquid restaking on Ethereum, while liquid staking (Lido and peers) sits around $40B+. Teams now want their own LSTs/LRTs, AVS integrations and staking platforms — with the risk controls slashing demands.

Staking and restaking infrastructure with reward and risk logic done right.
Liquid staking tokens (LSTs)
Mint a liquid, yield-bearing representation of staked assets.
Liquid restaking tokens (LRTs)
Restaked positions wrapped into composable LRTs.
Restaking integration
EigenLayer-style restaking and operator/strategy routing.
AVS development
Build actively-validated services and their slashing logic.
Reward distribution
Accurate, gas-efficient reward accrual and claims.
Validator & operator tooling
Delegation, performance and operator dashboards.
Risk & slashing controls
Slashing-aware accounting and exposure limits.
Staking dashboard
Stake, restake, track yield and manage positions.
Staking vs restaking — what fits you?
Liquidity and risk profile differ across these products. Here's the comparison.
| Product | What it is | Best for | Key build considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Native staking | Stake to secure a chain | Validators, basic yield | Validator ops, withdrawals |
| Liquid staking (LST) | Liquid claim on staked assets | Composable yield | Peg, reward accrual, redemptions |
| Restaking | Reuse staked security for AVSs | Extra yield, shared security | Operator routing, slashing risk |
| Liquid restaking (LRT) | Liquid wrapper on restaked | DeFi composability | Strategy mix, slashing accounting |
We help you choose and design the risk model in discovery.

Proof
Tenet
We built Tenet — a liquid-staking and restaking hub with a DEX for staking, swapping and rewards — onboarding 150,000+ users and enabling staking of LSDs across multiple networks, including restaking and meta-LSD integrations.

Why Cowchain
We rescue stalled builds
Inherited a half-finished contract or a deadlocked codebase? We audit, stabilise and ship it — not just greenfield work.
Founder-led & fast
You talk to the people building it. Tight loops, weekly demos, no account-manager telephone game.
Web3-native team
Years across DeFi, payments, NFTs and infra — 30+ shipped products, not a pivoted Web2 shop.
Security-first
Audit-ready contracts, threat modelling and monitoring baked into the process, not bolted on at the end.
