Swell is a DeFi protocol focused on optimizing yield-generating assets within Ethereum’s ecosystem. Built on the OP Stack, Swell’s platform integrates seamlessly with Ethereum to offer restaking opportunities for assets like swETH, rswETH, and swBTC. Positioned as the Superchain’s primary restaking hub, Swell is designed to drive liquidity and capital efficiency for staked assets across its interconnected ecosystem.
Technology:
Swell utilizes Proof of Restake (PoR) to enhance security and efficiency in managing staked assets. This mechanism enables capital-efficient restaking by leveraging Swell’s unique infrastructure on the OP Stack. Operating as an Optimistic Rollup, Swell benefits from Ethereum-aligned security and scalability, interoperability within the Superchain, and shared upgrades. Adjustments, such as using ETH as the gas token and sharing sequencer revenue, align Swell with Superchain standards, enhancing network-wide cohesion.
