Why This Matters

Not every team that wants an LRT (liquid restaking token) should have to build the restaking infrastructure from scratch. Curators, which can be anything from small DeFi funds to large crypto brands, often have:

• A loyal asset base.

• A thesis on which networks and AVSs (Autonomous Verifiable Services) they trust or wish to boost.

• A revenue model that depends on configurable fees rather than a blanket one-size-fits-all setup.

Flow allows a curator to stand up a new vault, choose its deposit assets, select AVSs and node operators that fit its risk appetite, and set a fee schedule that shares upside with the community.

The Challenge

Curators need custom routing of restaked capital, but lack the engineering bandwidth to fork and audit contracts or run validator infrastructure.

AVSs, like EigenDA, crave specialized quorums that make it more difficult to break consensus but have no easy path to source them.

**How Flow Vaults Work
**
1) Vault Creation

The curator collaborates with Renzo and Concrete to deploy a Flow vault with the specific parameters they’re looking for.

2) Operator Selection

Curators designate an exclusive node-operator set. This includes the option to run the Flow vault on the curator’s own operators, ensuring control over performance metrics and geographic dispersal for decentralization.

3) Restake and Delegate

Assets are restaked and delegated to the AVSs of the curator’s choosing. Curators choose weights for attributable security across AVSs.

4) Reward Management

Flow handles reward management in the background. This can either be done through auto-compounding, where rewards are claimed, swapped for the deposit asset, and redeposited, accruing to the price of the vault’s receipt token, or alternatively reward distribution can be tailored to the curator’s needs.

Benefits at a Glance

• Superior security built on the same battle-tested stack as Renzo’s ezETH, ezREZ, and ezEIGEN.

• Configurable reward management through auto-compounding or alternative reward distribution.

• Out-of-the-box composability throughout DeFi.

• No hassle implementation: Renzo and Concrete manage all backend operations.

Looking Ahead

Flow’s curator-led vaults allow for full restaking customization. If your organization is interested in curating an EigenLayer restaking vault, Renzo and Concrete can have you live in days. Reach out to us directly to learn more.
