EX Ankr and Blockdaemon executives launch Liquid Staking Derivatives L1 chain

• Liquid Staking Derivatives layer 1 blockchain known as Tenet.
• The blockchain will create a hub for Liquid Staking Derivatives (LSDs).
• Tenet’s testnet went stay right this moment permitting builders to work together and experiment with the platform.

Former Ankr and Blockdaemon executives have joined palms to create Tenet, the primary Layer 1 blockchain constructed to create a hub for Liquid Staking Derivatives (LSDs).

The Tenet Testnet has been launched right this moment, permitting builders to work together and experiment with the platform.

Tenet protocol options

Tenet is an Ethereum Digital Machine (EVM) appropriate Layer 1 protocol. It’s designed to convey further liquidity and yield alternatives to LSDs by permitting customers to re-stake their property within the community and take part within the community’s DeFi ecosystem.

Completely different from different Cosmos chains that depend on their very own native tokens for PoS safety, Tenet validators could make use of a singular mechanism referred to as Diversified Proof of Stake (DiPoS). DiPoS permits validation by re-staking LSDs from different L1 ecosystems supported by Tenet, similar to Ethereum, BNB Chain, Cosmos, Solana, and Polygon.

Re-staking LSDs from different blockchains ensures the long-term safety of the Tenet chain by leveraging the joint safety of every of the Layer 1 ecosystems it providers.

Commenting on the launch of Tenet’s Testnet, the co-founder of Tenet, Greg Gopman, stated:

“At Ankr, we helped convey Liquid Staking Tokens to eight Blockchains and constructed out a few of the finest LSD infrastructure within the trade, however nobody used it. Tenet was actually a golden alternative for being first to market in using best-in-class know-how with virtually $20B in untapped liquidity. We analyzed what different tasks like Berachain and Eigen Layer have been doing and realized that there was a greater solution to place ourselves to finest handle the market. We’ve chosen to take a user-centric path, making the staking and LSD expertise less complicated and safer for the typical consumer.”

Utilizing LSDs on Tenet

The re-staked LSDs on Tenet are usable identical to LSDs or LLSDs to benefit from DeFi alternatives on the Testnet ecosystem.

Moreover profiting from lending swimming pools and DEXs, Tenet customers may even be capable to mint the Common Stablecoin interest-free, permitting them to obtain an “advance” on their future LSD yields.

Tenet additionally gives the primary L1 ecosystem with native gauges, which permit veTenet token holders to earn direct rewards to the swimming pools they select.
