StaFiX Protocol Overview
A multi-chain restaking and liquid staking finance protocol that unifies base staking yields, restaking revenues, and programmable yield instruments into a single, composable platform
Building the Yield Graph of DeFi
StaFiX transforms fragmented restaking opportunities into a coherent yield layer accessible to everyday users, sophisticated developers, and institutions alike. Our vision is bold: build the 'yield graph' of decentralized finance—an infrastructure where yield is a first-class object.
Users simply choose a risk band, maturity preference, and liquidity profile; the protocol abstracts the rest via modular strategies, cross-chain messaging, and verifiable accounting.
Security-First Defaults
Conservative fail-safes, whitelisted modules by risk tier, and graceful degradation
Liquidity Orientation
Transferrable yield claims, secondary markets, and lines of credit against positions
Multi-Chain Pragmatism
Deploy where users are, interoperate via canonical bridges and light clients
Yield Claims Innovation
StaFiX introduces canonical Yield Claims - positions that accrue income from base staking and approved restaking services, represented by transferrable tokens that can be split, traded, and settled with minimal friction.
Three Product Tracks
- • Simple Yield: Easy choices with abstracted complexity
- • Structured Yield: Term and tranche controls
- • Pro Yield: Raw strategy knobs for power users
- • Optional bond-like NFTs with maturity and penalties
StaFiX Multi-Chain Architecture
A modular architecture spanning multiple blockchain layers for seamless cross-chain operations
Substrate-based blockchain managing StaFiX token and on-chain governance
Cosmos-SDK based chain for IBC-connected networks (ATOM, IRIS)
Smart contracts for Ethereum and EVM chains (XDeposit, XStake)
Connext and Everclear for secure cross-chain messaging
Key Components
Understanding the core building blocks of the StaFiX protocol
Security & Risk Management
StaFiX implements comprehensive security measures to protect user funds and protocol operations
Rigorous audits, formal verification, and battle-tested patterns
Mitigation: Open source contracts, bug bounty program, and limited permissions
Diversified delegation across multiple operators
Mitigation: Curated operator selection and governance oversight
Decentralized governance with emergency mechanisms
Mitigation: Timelock controls and community-driven decisions
Secure bridging with rate limits and monitoring
Mitigation: Non-custodial bridges and governance circuit breakers
Important Risk Disclosure
Users should be aware that liquid restaking carries a higher risk profile than basic staking or even basic liquid staking. Proper education and transparency about these risks is a continued priority for the StaFiX team and community.
Use Cases & Benefits
StaFiX unlocks value for different stakeholder groups across the Web3 ecosystem
Maximize yield on staked assets without sacrificing liquidity
Example Scenario:
Alice stakes 10 ETH → gets 10 rETH (5% APR) → restakes to get 10 RrETH (15%+ total APR)
Key Benefits:
- •Compound rewards without additional capital
- •Maintain full liquidity
- •Support multiple networks simultaneously
Bootstrap security by leveraging established network capital
Example Scenario:
New oracle network integrates with EigenLayer → StaFiX provides restaked security
Key Benefits:
- •Access to large pool of restaked assets
- •Cost-effective security bootstrapping
- •LSaaS integration support
New arbitrage and yield opportunities with liquid restaking tokens
Example Scenario:
RrETH-ETH liquidity pools, lending collateral, cross-chain yield strategies
Key Benefits:
- •Enhanced market efficiency
- •Cross-chain liquidity unification
- •Always-earning collateral assets
Real-World Example: Multi-Chain Staking Strategy
Alice holds DOT, ATOM, and ETH. Through StaFiX, she stakes all three via respective modules: gets rDOT on StaFi Parachain, rATOM on StaFiHub, and rETH on Ethereum. She then converts some into a unified restaking position by swapping rDOT and rATOM into more rETH, and deposits the rETH into StaFiX's EigenLayer pool to get RrETH. Now Alice earns from Polkadot staking, Cosmos staking, Ethereum staking, and Ethereum restaking — a diversified yield stream while maintaining full liquidity.
