Uncharted Territory Ahead: Why Restaking Needs Modularity
summary
Argues that restaking must be built as an immutable core with upgradeable modules, citing concrete components and pain points: DVT for distributed validators, a bonded pool called VFP to underwrite validator collateral, AVS selection and reward-routing across multiple tokens, and cross-chain rate sync with bridges that can incur a 7-day optimistic delay. Claims modularity reduces re‑audit risk and lets teams add or swap staking, restaking and cross‑chain modules quickly—one team enables restaking in about three weeks after modular groundwork.
