Introduction
Welcome to the Suzaku documentation!
What is Suzaku?
Suzaku is the (re)staking protocol for sovereign networks.
It is tailored to help Avalanche L1s (opens in a new tab) securely scale and decentralize their validator set by providing them with different security models, from PoA to PoS and dual-staking.
Suzaku effectively implements a validator marketplace between:
Stakers
Suzaku allows users to secure Avalanche L1s through staking of L1 native tokens and restaking of blue-chip assets.
In exchange, stakers receive rewards from the L1 networks.
Operators
High-tier infrastructure providers and validators offer their services to L1 networks, enabling them to scale and decentralize their validator set.
L1 networks
L1 networks reward stakers for securing their network and operators for running the infrastructure.
Restaking also allows L1 networks to reach higher and more stable cryptoeconomic security while paying less in rewards.
Who is building Suzaku?
Suzaku is built by one of the most knowledgeable teams in the Avalanche ecosystem: the Ash team (a.k.a. E36 Knots (opens in a new tab)), alumni of the Avalanche Codebase (opens in a new tab) accelerator S’24 and supported by the Avalanche Foundation (opens in a new tab).
Ash (opens in a new tab) is an open-core Appchain-as-a-Service platform that leverages Avalanche L1s (opens in a new tab).
