Ender Protocol: Liquid Staking Yield Mining & Inverse Restaking

Ender Protocol is revolutionizing the intersection of decentralized finance (DeFi) and gaming by creating a self-sustaining digital ecosystem. Our innovative approach solves critical challenges in blockchain gaming, liquidity provision, and infrastructure scaling through a unique integration of yield liquidity mining, restaking, and Layer 2 technology.

Core Innovation: Inverse Restaking through Yield Mining

At the heart of Ender Protocol lies a groundbreaking mechanism that we call "Inverse Restaking." This innovation represents a paradigm shift in how blockchain networks can bootstrap liquidity and create utility tokens. To understand its significance, let's break it down:

Traditional Restaking vs. Inverse Restaking

Traditional Restaking (e.g., Eigenlayer):

In traditional restaking, there is a linear flow in which assets are restaked to secure a new network.
In traditional restaking, there is a linear flow in which assets are restaked to secure a new network.
  • Users stake liquid assets (e.g., ETH) to provide security for another network

  • Collateralize existing assets in exchange for network security

  • Leverages existing network security (e.g., Ethereum's PoS)

  • Uses established assets (like ETH) to bootstrap new network security

  • Converts value of ETH staking into a bootstrapping mechanism for another network token

  • The restaked assets remain fundamentally separate from the new network

Inverse Restaking (Ender Protocol + EndLayer):

In Inverse Restaking, we inverse the process by first bootstrapping and frontloading the yield from the liquid staking into its own new network token, and then restake it to secure the network.
In Inverse Restaking, we inverse the process by first bootstrapping and frontloading the yield from the liquid staking into its own new network token, and then restake it to secure the network.
  • Users mine the yield from liquid staking assets (e.g., staked ETH)

  • Directly mint a new token backed by this yield that can then be used to secure a new network

  • Starts with the yield from liquid staking

  • "Mines" this yield to create a new token

  • This new token is inherently tied to the base network's security and value

  • The new token can then be restaked, creating a more integrated ecosystem

  • Combines both the previous network value with the new network's value, appended or "imbued" with functional utility/value

Key Advantages of Inverse Restaking:

  1. Direct Yield Capture: Instead of relying on existing assets, we tap directly into the yield generated by staked assets.

  2. Sustainable Liquidity Bootstrapping: By minting tokens backed by real yield, we create a sustainable model for liquidity provision and token utility.

  3. Metamorphic Liquidity: By yield mining to create a new network token, we have essentially captured the ETH value as a permanent new utility token for the network to be restaked.

    With regular restaking, the restaked assets are fleeting, that is, they can be unstaked and completely removed from the system. Restakers/delegators can opt out of restaking to a particular network.

    With our model, you can still unstake your tokens, but the yield token is a permanent utility token for the network itself. Through yield mining, the liquidity is retained via our meta-token.

  4. Enhanced Utility/Yield: The minted token (END) can have additional functionalities and utilities beyond just representing stake, opening up new possibilities for DeFi and gaming applications. The restaking yield is concentrated, creating a "leveraged yield" effect.

Practical Implementation:

  • Users deposit ETH or other liquid staking tokens into Ender Protocol

  • The yield generated from these deposits is used to mint END tokens

  • END tokens represent both yield rights and can be used within the Ender ecosystem for various purposes (gaming, DeFi, etc.)

  • This creates a circular economy where yield drives token creation, which in turn drives ecosystem growth and generates more yield

Why This Matters:

  1. Novel Funding Model: This approach provides a new way for blockchain projects to bootstrap liquidity and create utility tokens without relying on inflationary models or based on token subsidies completely.

  2. Aligned Incentives: By directly tying token creation to yield generation, we create a system where all participants are incentivized to contribute to the ecosystem's growth.

  3. Sustainable Growth: The model allows for organic, yield-driven growth rather than relying on speculative interest or unsustainable token emissions.

  4. Versatility: This mechanism can be applied beyond gaming, potentially revolutionizing how new blockchain networks and applications are bootstrapped and scaled.

Ender Protocol's Inverse Restaking mechanism represents a fundamental innovation in blockchain economics. It provides a more efficient, sustainable, and aligned way to create value and utility in decentralized ecosystems. This breakthrough positions us at the forefront of the next evolution in blockchain technology, DeFi, and decentralized application development.

Key Innovations

  1. Yield Liquidity Mining:

    1. Converts real ETH staking yields into game infrastructure and player rewards

    2. Creates a sustainable funding model without relying on token inflation

    3. Aligns player engagement directly with ecosystem growth

  2. Realm Portal System:

    1. Unique, player-owned worlds generated through bonding mechanism – the Metaverse Bond

    2. Natural scarcity and scalability limits tied to bonded assets

    3. Each realm functions as a custom Minecraft-like world within a broader MMO structure integrated into our game: Endworld

  3. Integrated Layer 2 Solution: EndOS

    1. Custom Layer 2 optimized for gaming, DeFi interactions, and third-party application integration

    2. Enables high throughput and low-cost transactions

    4. Functions as a 3D spatial operating system, allowing for an in-game app store ecosystem

    5. Empowers third-party developers to create and integrate dApps directly into the gaming environment

    6. Creates a rich, interactive metaverse where gaming, finance, and utility applications coexist

  4. Restaking for Infrastructure:

    1. Yield tokens can be restaked to support gaming infrastructure

    2. Creates a circular economy where game activity funds its own growth

    3. Solves the challenge of sustainable server hosting and scaling

  5. Multi-Token System:

    1. END: Yield token representing liquid staking returns, mined through yield liquidity mining

    2. endETH: Principal token for bond deposits, stripped of yield

    3. ENDR: (Future prospect) Potential governance token or in-game premium token

Economic Model

Our model inverts traditional restaking, directly converting yield into utility tokens and scaling mechanisms. This creates a flywheel effect: more players generate more yield, funding further growth and attracting more players.

Yield-Pegged Token Generation

Just as stablecoins revolutionized crypto by pegging to the dollar, Ender Protocol introduces yield-pegged token generation. Our END token is effectively pegged to ETH staking yields, creating a stable, value-backed foundation for our ecosystem. This mechanism allows us to bootstrap a secondary layer on top of Ethereum, capturing liquidity and fueling ecosystem growth.

Yield Tokenization: A Simple Yet Revolutionary Concept in Blockchain

The Overlooked Innovation

In the rapidly evolving world of blockchain and cryptocurrency, sometimes the most profound innovations are hiding in plain sight. One such concept is the tokenization of staking yield—an idea so simple and elegant that it's often overlooked or dismissed. Yet, this approach could potentially revolutionize how we think about blockchain scalability, interoperability, and economic bootstrapping.

The Core Concept

The basic idea is straightforward:

  1. Take the yield generated from staking on a base network (like Ethereum).

  2. Tokenize this yield into a new, separate token.

  3. Use this new token to bootstrap and secure a new network or layer.

At first glance, this might seem pointless. Why tokenize yield into a 1:1 backed token? Isn't that just adding unnecessary complexity?

Parallels with Stablecoins

This skepticism is reminiscent of early reactions to stablecoins. Many questioned the value of creating a token representing a 1:1 copy of one of the most liquid and stable/denominated assets in the world, the US Dollar. Yet, stablecoins have become a cornerstone of the crypto ecosystem, facilitating trading, onramps and offramps, enabling DeFi applications, and widespread access to liquidity.

The real appeal of stablecoins was tokenizing the US Dollar so it could be used directly on-chain. This seemingly simple step unlocked tremendous value and liquidity within the crypto ecosystem. Now, seen as one of the biggest use-cases in all of crypto. Similarly, with Yield Mining and tokenizing yield, we are able to add additional network utility and bootstrap liquidity in innovative ways.

A New Liquidity Paradigm

Just as stablecoins provided widely accessible liquidity to crypto markets, yield tokenization can do the same for new networks:

  1. Liquidity Settlement Layer: In this analogy, the Ethereum network serves as the liquidity settlement layer, much like the US Dollar does for traditional finance and stablecoins.

  2. New Networks as Markets: Each new network or layer built using yield tokenization can be seen as a new market, with its own dynamics and opportunities.

  3. Native Network Currency: The yield-derived token becomes the native currency of these new networks, backed by and interlinked with the base layer (Ethereum) just as stablecoins are backed by and interlinked with fiat currencies.

  4. Bootstrapping Liquidity: By tokenizing yield, we're effectively bootstrapping liquidity for these new networks, providing them with a strong foundation from the start.

  5. Interconnected Ecosystems: This approach creates a web of interconnected blockchain ecosystems, all deriving their fundamental value and liquidity from a common source.

This parallel highlights how yield tokenization isn't just about creating a new token, but about fundamentally reshaping how we think about liquidity, value transfer, and network bootstrapping in the blockchain space.

The Power of Simplicity

The beauty of yield tokenization lies in its simplicity. By creating a new token backed by staking yield, we can:

  1. Inherit the security and liquidity of the base network.

  2. Create a new asset class with its own utility.

  3. Bootstrap new economic networks without starting from scratch.

  4. Enable new forms of cross-chain interactions and value transfer.

Restaking: The Missing Piece

The true potential of this system is realized when combined with restaking. By allowing the yield-based tokens to be restaked, we create a compounding effect:

  1. The new token can secure and grow its own network.

  2. It maintains a connection to the base layer.

  3. It creates a symbiotic relationship between the new network and the base network.

Why It Matters

This approach offers several significant advantages:

  1. Efficiency: It makes more efficient use of existing blockchain resources and capital.

  2. Scalability: It provides a new avenue for addressing blockchain scalability issues.

  3. Interoperability: It creates natural bridges between different blockchain ecosystems.

  4. Innovation: It opens up new possibilities for DeFi, gaming, and other blockchain applications.

  5. Sustainability: It provides a way to create value without diluting or competing with the base layer.

The Bigger Picture

At its core, this concept represents a fundamental shift in how we think about blockchain ecosystems. Instead of viewing different chains or layers as separate, competing entities, it encourages us to see them as interconnected, symbiotic networks.

By leveraging the security and value of established networks to bootstrap new ones, we're not just creating new tokens or platforms - we're building a more interconnected, efficient, and scalable blockchain ecosystem.


Decentralized Network Genesis Protocol - A New Paradigm for Web3 Infrastructure

We have created a novel approach to network creation and security in the Web3 ecosystem, diverging from current restaking models. By leveraging Ethereum's yield through innovative "Inverse Restaking," we can create a more decentralized, efficient, and Web3-native infrastructure for launching and securing new networks.

Current Landscape: The Centralized Restaking Model

Existing restaking protocols (e.g., Eigenlayer) operate as:

  • Centralized marketplaces for restaking

  • Intermediary layers between Ethereum and new services

  • Web2-inspired, platform-as-a-service models

  • Controlled environments for building services

While innovative, this approach mimics centralized Web2 architectures, potentially compromising Web3 principles.

Proposed Model: Decentralized Network Genesis Protocol

Our proposed model reimagines network creation and security:

  1. Yield Mining for Network Genesis: Directly convert Ethereum staking yields into new network tokens.

  2. Inverse Restaking: Create network tokens upfront, then use them to secure the new network.

  3. Ethereum as a Network Marketplace: Transform Ethereum into a launchpad for independent, interconnected networks.

  4. Direct Integration: "Graft" new networks onto Ethereum without intermediary layers.

  5. Parallel Staking Structure: Leverage Ethereum's security while bootstrapping new network value.

Key Advantages

  1. True Decentralization: Aligns with Web3 principles by removing centralized intermediaries.

  2. Efficient Value Capture: Directly converts yield into network value, maximizing efficiency.

  3. Permissionless Innovation: Enables organic, diverse network creation without protocol-specific limitations.

  4. Strengthened Ethereum Ecosystem: Reinforces Ethereum's role as the foundation of Web3.

  5. Democratized Network Creation: Lowers barriers to entry for creating new blockchain networks.

Divergence from Current Models

Our approach fundamentally differs from existing restaking protocols:

  1. Disintermediation: Eliminates the need for dedicated restaking marketplaces.

  2. Direct Value Flow: Captures value at the source, without additional layers.

  3. Open Environment: Allows networks to evolve independently while maintaining Ethereum connection.

  4. Ethereum-Centric Growth: Focuses on expanding Ethereum's capabilities rather than creating separate ecosystems.

Alignment with Web3 Principles

This model represents a "back to the future" approach:

  • Combines the open, decentralized ethos of Web1

  • Incorporates advanced tokenomics and security models of Web3

  • Avoids the centralization pitfalls of Web2

Potential Impact

  1. Accelerated Innovation: Easier and faster launching of new blockchain networks and services.

  2. Enhanced Interoperability: Networks inherently connected through their Ethereum origin.

  3. Improved Resource Utilization: More efficient use of Ethereum's value and security.

  4. Scalable Ecosystem Growth: Organic expansion of the Ethereum ecosystem without artificial limits.

The Decentralized Network Genesis Protocol represents a paradigm shift in how we approach Web3 infrastructure. By leveraging Ethereum's fundamental strengths and aligning closely with decentralization principles, this model promises to unlock new potentials in blockchain network creation, security, and scalability.

This approach not only diverges from current restaking models but also paves the way for a more open, efficient, and truly decentralized Web3 future.

Yield Mining: A New Model for Network Creation

Our innovative yield mining model presents a powerful new approach for creating networks directly from Ethereum's liquid staking rewards. This model transforms Ethereum itself into a marketplace for new networks, bypassing the need for centralized restaking protocols.

This diagram shows essentially how liquid staking can be used as a primary use case function for bootstrapping new networks directly through Yield Mining and Inverse Restaking.

Key Components of the Yield Mining Model:

  1. Ethereum Network: The foundation of the entire ecosystem.

  2. Block Rewards: Ethereum block rewards generated through Proof of Stake.

  3. Liquid Staking Provider: Receives block rewards and generates yield.

  4. Yield Mining: Utilizes yield from liquid staking to create new tokens.

  6. New Networks: Independent networks (A, B, C, etc.) created and secured through inverse restaking.

Process Flow:

  1. Ethereum generates block rewards through its Proof of Stake mechanism.

  2. These rewards are distributed to the Liquid Staking Provider.

  3. The Liquid Staking Provider generates yield from these rewards.

  4. This yield is used for Yield Mining, creating new tokens for different networks.

  5. The new tokens are used for Inverse Restaking, creating and securing new networks.

  6. Each new network (A, B, C, etc.) operates independently but remains connected to Ethereum through its origin in yield mining.

Advantages of This Model:

  1. Direct Network Creation: New networks are created directly from Ethereum's yield, ensuring a strong connection to the base layer.

  2. Decentralized Network Marketplace: Ethereum becomes a decentralized launchpad for new networks, removing the need for intermediary protocols.

  3. Efficient Use of Rewards: Block rewards are efficiently converted into new network value.

  4. Scalability: The model allows for the creation of multiple networks simultaneously.

  5. Aligned Incentives: New networks are inherently aligned with Ethereum's success.

Implications for Liquid Staking:

This model creates a new and powerful use case for liquid staking. Instead of simply providing yield to stakers, liquid staking now becomes a fundamental building block for new network creation. This could significantly increase demand for liquid staking services and drive innovation in the space.

Ethereum as a Network Marketplace

By enabling this model, Ethereum transforms from a simple smart contract platform into a dynamic marketplace for new networks. This shift has several important implications:

  1. Ecosystem Growth: Facilitates organic growth of the Ethereum ecosystem.

  2. Innovation Catalyst: Lowers barriers to entry for creating new networks, potentially accelerating innovation.

  3. Value Capture: Ensures that value generated from new networks feeds back into the Ethereum ecosystem.

  4. Interoperability: Networks created through this model have built-in interoperability with Ethereum and each other.

Ecosystem-Wide Impact: A New Paradigm for Network Creation

While our project serves as a pioneering implementation of this model, the true power of Yield Mining and Inverse Restaking lies in its potential for widespread adoption across the Ethereum ecosystem.

  1. Scalable Model: This approach can be applied by any project building on Ethereum, creating a new standard for network generation and bootstrapping.

  2. Revolution in Project Creation: Similar to how Uniswap revolutionized liquidity provision and token creation, our model introduces a new paradigm for how projects, applications, and networks can be formed on Ethereum.

  3. Sustainable Alternative to Liquidity Mining: It offers a more sustainable and powerful alternative to traditional liquidity mining for bootstrapping new networks, addressing key issues in the current model of project funding and launch.

  4. Complementary to Existing DeFi: The model works in tandem with existing DeFi protocols. New tokens created through Yield Mining can be used in liquidity pools on platforms like Uniswap, creating a synergistic relationship with established DeFi infrastructure.

  5. Enhanced Capital Efficiency: By directly leveraging Ethereum's yield for network creation, this model offers superior capital efficiency compared to traditional funding methods.

  6. Aligned Incentives: New networks created through this model are inherently aligned with Ethereum's success, fostering a more cohesive and mutually beneficial ecosystem.

  7. Democratized Network Creation: Lowers the barriers to entry for creating new networks, potentially leading to a more diverse and innovative Ethereum ecosystem.

  8. Yield Utilization: Provides a new use case for yield from liquid staking, potentially driving increased demand for these services and further securing the Ethereum network.

This yield mining model represents a significant evolution in how we think about network creation and ecosystem growth in the blockchain space. It leverages Ethereum's strengths to create a self-sustaining cycle of innovation and value creation, potentially positioning Ethereum at the center of a vast, interconnected network of blockchain ecosystems.

By providing a framework for sustainable, yield-driven network creation, this model could become the foundation for the next wave of blockchain innovation. It offers a path to a more interconnected, efficient, and dynamic Ethereum ecosystem, where new networks can be created and scaled with greater ease and sustainability than ever before.

This diagram shows how the current paradigm of Ethereum Staking is generalized vs. the new token economy denominated in ETH via Yield Mining, parallel to how there are many kinds of stablecoins with added utility issued by different open protocols on Ethereum.

This diagram illustrates the paradigm shift from the current liquid staking model to the future of yield mining and inverse restaking. It showcases:

  • The transition from individual stakers to network bootstrapping

  • Parallels with stablecoins and the creation of ETH-denominated tokens

  • The emergence of a new token economy similar to the Uniswap revolution

The Core Concept

Yield Mining flips the traditional restaking model on its head:

  1. Instead of restaking existing assets to secure a new network, Yield Mining uses the yield generated from liquid staking to create new network tokens.

  2. These yield-mined tokens can then be used to bootstrap and secure new networks or applications through Inverse Restaking.

  3. This process creates a direct link between Ethereum and the new networks, fostering a symbiotic relationship.

Paradigm Shift: From Individual Stakers to Network Bootstrapping

Currently, liquid staking primarily serves individual actors, institutions, and solo validators who receive block rewards. The future, however, lies in using liquid staking yields to bootstrap entire new networks:

  1. New networks built on top of Ethereum as application-specific chains can leverage Inverse Restaking.

  2. This shifts the primary use case from individual reward earning to ecosystem expansion.

  3. Anyone can participate in backing new networks directly through yield mining.

Parallels with Stablecoins and Beyond

Just as stablecoins revolutionized crypto by tokenizing fiat currency value, Yield Mining tokenizes staking yield:

  1. Stablecoins made fiat-pegged value easily transferable and usable in crypto ecosystems.

  2. Similarly, yield-mined tokens make staking yields directly usable for creating and securing new networks.

  3. This concept goes beyond stablecoins by creating ETH-denominated tokens with additional utility, similar to how MakerDAO and others have expanded on the basic stablecoin model.

Ethereum as a Network Marketplace

This diagram shows essentially how Yield Mining compares to Traditional Restaking, essentially turning Ethereum itself into a network marketplace instead of a Web2 model like AWS with Eigenlayer.
This diagram shows essentially how Yield Mining compares to Traditional Restaking, essentially turning Ethereum itself into a network marketplace instead of a Web2 model like AWS with Eigenlayer.

Through Yield Mining and Inverse Restaking, Ethereum transforms from a smart contract platform into a dynamic marketplace for new networks:

  1. Any project could potentially use Ethereum's staking yields to bootstrap their own network or application.

  2. This creates a new use case for liquid staking, potentially driving increased demand for these services.

  3. Ethereum becomes a launchpad for a diverse ecosystem of interconnected networks, all deriving their fundamental value from Ethereum's yield.

  4. The protocol is externalized, based directly on Ethereum itself, rather than being internalized within a separate restaking protocol.

The Uniswap Parallel: A New Token Economy

Just as Uniswap created a new paradigm for liquidity provision and token swapping, Yield Mining and Inverse Restaking could do the same for network creation:

  1. Potential for thousands of new network tokens, all inherently denominated in ETH.

  2. These tokens can be traded on decentralized exchanges and added to liquidity pools.

  3. The base value of these tokens is tied to ETH, with potential for additional value based on the network's specific utility.

  4. This creates a form of "built-in liquidity pool" within the tokens themselves.

Revolutionary Token Economics

This model introduces a fundamentally new paradigm for token value and liquidity:

  1. Base value is inherently stable (tied to ETH).

  2. Additional value can accrue based on the token's specific utility or market perception.

  3. Providing liquidity (LP) with ETH and these tokens is akin to a stable swap between two ETH-denominated assets, plus any additional perceived value.

  4. This could revolutionize how we think about token economics and liquidity provision in the DeFi space.

Modular Expansion: Application to Game Server Infrastructure

While the basic Yield Mining model allows for the creation of multiple independent networks, an advanced application of this concept enables the creation of a single, unified network token that can be used to power multiple interconnected subnetworks. This model is particularly well-suited for gaming infrastructures and metaverse applications.

In this diagram, we show how we can modify the original architecture to allow for a singular network token to restake for multiple parallel networks under one application layer as an application-specific restaking protocol. For our particular use case, game servers.
In this diagram, we show how we can modify the original architecture to allow for a singular network token to restake for multiple parallel networks under one application layer as an application-specific restaking protocol. For our particular use case, game servers.

Key Components:

  1. Single Network Token: Instead of creating separate tokens for each network, a single yield-mined token is generated to represent the entire application ecosystem.

  2. Inverse Restaking for Subnetworks: This token can then be inverse restaked to create and secure multiple subnetworks within the larger ecosystem.

  3. Modular Resource Allocation: The distribution of resources (restaked tokens) among subnetworks can be dynamically adjusted based on various factors:

    1. Player base size

    2. Network activity levels

    3. Resource requirements

    4. Economic value of the subnetwork

  4. Metaverse Bond Integration: The creation and valuation of subnetworks (e.g., individual game servers or realms) can be tied to a metaverse bond process, ensuring that the growth and resource allocation of the network are deeply integrated with its economic model.

Advantages of this Model:

  1. Scalability: Easily scale the number of subnetworks (e.g., game servers) as the player base grows.

  2. Flexibility: Dynamically allocate resources where they're most needed or valuable.

  3. Unified Economy: All subnetworks share the same base token, creating a unified in-game economy.

  4. Efficient Resource Use: Automatically balance resources across the network based on real-time needs and value.

Real-World Application: Game Server Infrastructure

In a gaming context, this model could work as follows:

  1. Yield Mining creates a single game network token.

  2. This token is inverse restaked to create multiple game servers or realms.

  3. Each server/realm is treated as a subnetwork, receiving a portion of the restaked tokens.

  4. The allocation of tokens (representing computational resources and economic value) to each server is dynamically adjusted based on factors like player population, in-game economic activity, and strategic importance.

  5. New servers can be spun up or down as needed, with resources automatically reallocated.

  6. The metaverse bond process allows for player-driven creation of new realms, tying the growth of the network directly to player engagement and investment.

This approach creates a highly scalable, efficient, and economically sound infrastructure for large-scale blockchain games or metaverse applications. It leverages the core principles of Yield Mining while providing the flexibility needed for complex, multi-server gaming environments.

Advantages Over Traditional Models

  1. Sustainable Liquidity: Networks are bootstrapped with real yield rather than inflationary token emissions.

  2. Aligned Incentives: The success of new networks is directly tied to the health of the Ethereum ecosystem.

  3. Capital Efficiency: Makes more efficient use of existing staked assets.

  4. Democratized Network Creation: Lowers barriers to entry for creating new networks.

  5. Interconnected Ecosystem: Naturally creates connections between Ethereum and new networks.

  6. Scalability: Enables efficient creation and management of multiple interconnected networks or subnetworks.

Potential Impact

  1. New Funding Model: Provides an alternative to traditional ICOs or token sales.

  2. Ecosystem Growth: Could drive significant growth in Ethereum staking and liquid staking services.

  3. Innovation Catalyst: Lowers barriers to entry, potentially spurring a new wave of blockchain innovation.

  4. Scalability Solution: Offers a new approach to creating scalable blockchain ecosystems.

  5. Enhanced Ethereum Utility: Adds significant value and utility to ETH itself as the base denomination for a new token economy.
