Wormhole and Nuffle Labs, a universal restaking protocol, are launching a first-of-its-kind native multichain solution that enables users to stake from any chain without the need for bridging assets cross-chain. With EigenLayer as its first implementation, this integration preserves native token functionality while connecting users to EigenLayer’s ecosystem of over 100 Actively Validated Services (AVSs).
A New Approach to Restaking
This new solution combines three protocols to address liquidity fragmentation in multichain staking:
- Wormhole’s message-passing architecture
- Nuffle Labs NUFF Protocol
- EigenLayer’s staking infrastructure
Together, these components create a system where assets provided through Nuffle’s infrastructure can be restaked across chains while maintaining their native properties. By eliminating traditional bridging requirements, this integration reduces complexity and risk for users while expanding access to EigenLayer’s shared security framework.
Technical Integration
The integration leverages Wormhole’s message-passing capabilities and Nuffle’s NUFF Protocol to:
- Enable native multichain restaking without asset bridging
- Connect any Layer 1 or Layer 2 to EigenLayer’s AVSs
- Enhance capital efficiency through rapid multichain finality
Solving Liquidity Fragmentation in Restaking
Current multichain staking solutions often lead to fragmented liquidity across different networks. This native restaking approach:
- Creates unified liquidity across networks
- Reduces capital inefficiency caused by siloed staking pools
- Enables seamless participation in EigenLayer’s ecosystem regardless of asset location
- Streamlines multichain staking operations
User Benefits
Users will be able to:
- Stake assets from any supported chain with a simplified process
- Access EigenLayer’s ecosystem beyond Ethereum
- Benefit from rapid multichain finality
- Maintain native token properties across chains
Looking Ahead
This category-defining integration marks a new chapter for multichain staking, simplifying the user experience while maintaining robust security. Beginning with EigenLayer, this solution sets the foundation for future multichain staking implementations across the broader blockchain ecosystem. Testnet is scheduled for the coming months, marking the first step toward truly native multichain staking capabilities.
About Nuffle Labs
Nuffle Labs are creating a universal marketplace that enables any asset to participate in the growing restaking economy while remaining in its native environment. Incubated by the NEAR Foundation and Pagoda, Nuffle Labs extends restaking to all networks through the Nuff Protocol, the first universal restaking solution. This allows restakers to provide security and receive rewards directly from their native chains, building on top of the rapidly growing Eigenlayer ecosystem. As builders of NEAR DA and NFFL, we're focused on developing infrastructure that open up previously isolated markets.
