Capital Efficient Restaking

Unlike protocols that require the new chain to stake tokens to receive security services — Canopy onboards chains through social consensus of the Validators powered by Restaking.

Using the same stake for multiple chains is capital efficient 👈

Here's how it works:

• Validators may opt-in to provide security to any Nested Chain by using their existing locked tokens as collateral. This means that supporting a new chain requires no additional stake.

• Staking for a Nested Chain earns Validators the Nested Chain native token.

• Additionally, Validators earn the Security Root token if a Chain has committed stake above the StakePercentForSubsidizedCommittee parameter.

• The amount of chains per Validator is limited only by the Security Root DAO

In other words, Nested Chains receive security services through community-driven popularity rather than financial investment, significantly lowering the barrier to entry for new chains.

No competition for block space - no gas fees - no economic barriers!
