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 是新兴 Liquid Restake Token Finance (LRTfi) 领域的一个开拓性项目，已在种子轮融资中筹集了 250 万美元。这种资本注入将推动 Unstable 的使命，即为（重新）抵押的以太币（ETH）建立杠杆层。

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.

本轮融资吸引了几家著名的 ETH 相关风险投资基金的浓厚兴趣，包括 Lattice、Laser Digital（野村集团）、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).

Transforming the LRTfi Landscape

改变 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) 的一个新兴子领域，允许用户利用流动性质押代币来实现创新的收益策略。 Unstable Protocol 计划利用筹集到的资金为其突破性的 zkOracle 提供动力，并作为质押和重新质押以太币的首个杠杆层。

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.

轻轨市场在过去的一年里经历了显着的增长，三个月内从零增长到约 150 亿美元。 Unstable Protocol 将利用其作为 LRTfi 原生借贷协议的地位，为用户提供以其（重新）抵押的 ETH 进行借贷的能力，并解锁其在第 2 层区块链上的实用性。

Strategic Partnerships for Growth

战略合作伙伴关系促进增长

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 与互操作平台 Axelar 的合作伙伴关系（其执行团队已经投资了 Unstable）将使后者能够解锁在 Layer-2 区块链上（重新）质押 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 合伙人 Mansoor Madhavji 表示：“Unstable 开创性地使用 zkOracles 来增强 LST 和 LRT ETH 市场的 DeFi 效用，这是一种前瞻性技术，将推动整个生态系统的发展。” “我们预计这将对流动性质押和更广泛的 DeFi 格局产生重大影响。”

ZK-Powered Lending Protocol Engine

ZK 支持的借贷协议引擎

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 的借贷协议引擎由基于 zkSNARK 的验证器和 EigenLayer AVS 余额证明提供支持，这些证明根据抵押品的底层支持来评估抵押品的价值。这是通过与 Succinct Labs 的重要合作伙伴关系推动的，该实验室最近在 Paradigm 共同牵头的一轮融资中获得了 5500 万美元的资金。

"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 创始人兼首席执行官 Uma Roy 解释说：“ZKP 为 DeFi 提供了增强的表现力和安全性。” “Unstable 部署 ZK 预言机来为其借贷协议引擎提供动力，这证明了 ZK 有能力建立一个新颖的类别：zkDeFi。”
