加州舊金山，2024 年 3 月 27 日

Unstable Protocol, a trailblazing project in the emerging Liquid Restaking Token Finance (LRTfi) arena, has raised $2.5 million in a seed funding round. This infusion of capital will fuel Unstable's mission to establish the leverage layer for (re)staked Ether (ETH).

Unstable Protocol 是新興 Liquid Restake Token Finance (LRTfi) 領域的開創性項目，已在種子輪融資中籌集了 250 萬美元。這種資本注入將推動 Unstable 的使命，為（重新）抵押的以太幣（ETH）建立槓桿層。

The funding round attracted significant interest from several prominent ETH-aligned venture capital funds, including Lattice, Laser Digital (Nomura Group), Blockchain Founders Fund, Assouline Ventures, Agnostic Fund, Artichoke Capital, Black Edge Capital, NewTribe Capital, and NxGen.

本輪融資吸引了幾家著名的 ETH 相關創投基金的濃厚興趣，包括 Lattice、Laser Digital（野村集團）、Blockchain Founders Fund、Assouline Ventures、Agnostic Fund、Artichoke Capital、Black Edge Capital、NewTribe Capital 和 NxGen。

Unstable Protocol also garnered support from renowned angel investors, protocol executives, media partners, and key opinion leaders (KOLs), such as @dcfgod, @wsbmod, @AltcoinSherpa, @devchart, Trader Lenny, Wes Cowan (Juice Finance), Rahim Noorani (Satori Finance), Tony Jiang (Cognition AI), Adil Virani (blitz.gg), Collin Goltra (YGG), Peter Huo (Whampoa Digital), Andy (TheRollup), Tian Zeng, and BlockBuilders (MarketAcross).

Unstable Protocol 也獲得了知名天使投資人、協議高管、媒體合作夥伴和關鍵意見領袖(KOL) 的支持，例如@dcfgod、@wsbmod、@AltcoinSherpa、@devchart、Trader Lenny、Wes Cowan（Juice Finance）、 Rahim Noorani (Satori Finance)、Tony Jiang (Cognition AI)、Adil Virani (blitz.gg)、Collin Goltra (YGG)、Peter Huo (黃埔數位)、Andy (TheRollup)、Tian Zeng 與 BlockBuilders (MarketAcross)。

Transforming the LRTfi Landscape

改變 LRTfi 格局

LRTfi, a burgeoning subsector of decentralized finance (DeFi), allows users to leverage liquid staking tokens for innovative yield strategies. Unstable Protocol plans to harness the raised capital to power its groundbreaking zkOracles and serve as the inaugural leverage layer for staked and restaked Ether.

LRTfi 是去中心化金融 (DeFi) 的一個新興子領域，允許用戶利用流動性質押代幣來實現創新的收益策略。 Unstable Protocol 計劃利用籌集到的資金為其突破性的 zkOracle 提供動力，並作為質押和重新質押以太幣的首個槓桿層。

The LRT market has experienced a remarkable surge in the past year, growing from zero to approximately $15 billion in three months. Unstable Protocol will leverage its position as an LRTfi-native lending protocol to offer users the capability to borrow against their (re)staked ETH and unlock its utility on Layer-2 blockchains.

輕軌市場在過去的一年經歷了顯著的成長，三個月內從零成長到約 150 億美元。 Unstable Protocol 將利用其作為 LRTfi 原生借貸協議的地位，為用戶提供以其（重新）抵押的 ETH 進行借貸的能力，並解鎖其在第 2 層區塊鏈上的實用性。

Strategic Partnerships for Growth

策略夥伴關係促進成長

Unstable Protocol's partnership with interoperability platform Axelar, whose executive team has already invested in Unstable, will enable the latter to unlock the utility of (re)staked ETH on Layer-2 blockchains.

Unstable Protocol 與互通平台 Axelar 的合作夥伴關係（其執行團隊已經投資了 Unstable）將使後者能夠解鎖在 Layer-2 區塊鏈上（重新）質押 ETH 的效用。

"Unstable's pioneering use of zkOracles to enhance DeFi utility for the LST and LRT ETH market is the type of forward-thinking technology that will advance the entire ecosystem," said Mansoor Madhavji, Partner at Blockchain Founders Fund. "We anticipate the significant impact this will have on liquid staking and the broader DeFi landscape."

Blockchain Founders Fund 合夥人 Mansoor Madhavji 表示：“Unstable 開創性地使用 zkOracles 來增強 LST 和 LRT ETH 市場的 DeFi 效用，這是一種前瞻性技術，將推動整個生態系統的發展。” “我們預計這將對流動性質押和更廣泛的 DeFi 格局產生重大影響。”

ZK-Powered Lending Protocol Engine

ZK 支援的借貸協議引擎

Unstable Protocol's lending protocol engine is powered by a zkSNARK-based validator and EigenLayer AVS balance proofs, which value collateral based on its underlying backing. This is facilitated through a crucial partnership with Succinct Labs, which recently secured $55 million in a funding round co-led by Paradigm.

Unstable Protocol 的借貸協議引擎由基於 zkSNARK 的驗證器和 EigenLayer AVS 餘額證明提供支持，這些證明根據抵押品的底層支持來評估抵押品的價值。這是透過與 Succinct Labs 的重要合作夥伴關係推動的，該實驗室最近在 Paradigm 共同牽頭的一輪融資中獲得了 5500 萬美元的資金。

"ZKPs provide DeFi with enhanced expressiveness and security," explained Uma Roy, Founder and CEO of Succinct Labs. "Unstable's deployment of ZK oracles to power their lending protocol engine exemplifies ZK's ability to establish a novel category: zkDeFi."

Succinct Labs 創始人兼首席執行官 Uma Roy 解釋說：“ZKP 為 DeFi 提供了增強的表現力和安全性。” “Unstable 部署 ZK 預言機來為其借貸協議引擎提供動力，這證明了 ZK 有能力建立一個新穎的類別：zkDeFi。”
