Catalysis is building the Security Abstraction Layer to aggregate and unify economic security across shared security protocols. By abstracting away the complexities of shared security, Catalysis provides a seamless, unified solution for developers and node operators to build and manage decentralized networks like AVSs, BVSs and DVNs.

Level is a stablecoin protocol powered by restaked dollar tokens like USDT and USDC. Level USD (lvlUSD) is a liquid restaked dollar: a yield-bearing, cross-chain dollar token that's backed 1:1 by restaked stablecoins.

Nucleus is the default yield provider for networks. Nucleus was built to revolutionize the way users interact with networks by removing the opportunity costs of exploring new ecosystems via embedding yield at the network layer. Nucleus enables networks (rollups and app-chains) to create a new yield generating primitive that is embedded at the base of the network’s ecosystem. Users are able to generate yield by default on a wide variety of assets just by bridging to the network. These assets will allow users to earn more while exploring all of the unique applications in the network’s ecosystem.

BIMA is an omni-chain stablecoin protocol on Bitcoin. Users across the BTC ecosystem can stake Bitcoin as collateral, restake liquid staking tokens, and mint USBD (Universal Stable Bitcoin Dollar).

Glacis is a protocol that empowers developers to simplify, secure, and manage their cross-chain applications. Developers are shifting from single chain to multichain deployments to reach as many users as possible. By leveraging Glacis to aggregate cross-chain General Messaging Passing protocols (GMPs) such as Axelar, Wormhole, and LayerZero — commonly known as bridges — developers gain the ability to define routing and security logic for their cross-chain applications.

Squid is the cross-chain swap and liquidity routing protocol on the Axelar Network. It uses existing DEXs to swap and send any native token between chains. Squid's API and SDK support swaps between any token type and enable multiple swaps and on-chain function calls to be linked together across an extensive list of integrated chains, allowing developers and users to explore new ecosystems in an instant.

Puffer is a decentralized native Liquid Restaking Protocol (nLRP) built on EigenLayer. It introduces native Liquid Restaking Tokens (nLRTs) that accrue PoS and restaking rewards. Nodes within the protocol leverage Puffer’s anti-slashing technology to enjoy reduced risk and increased capital efficiency, while supercharging their rewards through native restaking. Puffer's core mission is to maintain the "trusted neutrality" of Ethereum and enhance and maintain the decentralization of Ethereum.

Ethena is building derivative infrastructure to enable Ethereum to transform into the Global Internet Bond via delta-neutral positions on stETH, to create the first crypto-native, yield bearing stablecoin: USDE.

Alluvial is a enterprise-grade liquid staking protocol that allows tokenholders to receive rewards from their staked digital assets, while ensuring that their digital assets are freely tradeable and usable in other DeFi applications. Alluvial's API-first integration makes it easy and efficient for digital asset exchanges, custodians, and other enterprises to integrate Liquid Collective's liquid staking capabilities into their existing product experiences.
