Suzaku Network SUZPrice $ 0.0805

Suzaku is a restaking infrastructure protocol designed to support Avalanche Layer-1 blockchains in scaling, securing, and decentralizing their validator ecosystems. It offers a unified framework for builders to bootstrap new L1 networks, enabling dual-staking with both native tokens and blue-chip assets (e.g., sAVAX, BTC.b, stablecoins) to enhance cryptoeconomic security while reducing reward dilution. Key participants include stakers, who restake existing assets through curators; operators, who run validator infrastructure; curators, who select networks and distribute rewards; and L1 chains, which can customize their staking and slashing rules. Suzaku's Suzaku Relay Network (SuzakuRN) extends Avalanche's Interchain Messaging by providing censorship-resistant relayers for cross-chain and subnet communications. As part of its mission, Suzaku builds a validator marketplace for Avalanche—supported by the Avalanche Foundation's InfraBUIDL grant—to streamline operator access and increase network decentralization. Suited for L1 builders, DeFi stakers, and institutional nodes, Suzaku enhances security, capital efficiency, and ecosystem composability across Avalanche’s multichain landscape.
