Everstake partners with Byzantine to bring resilient restaking to institutional clients

Byzantine is excited to announce a strategic partnership with Everstake, one of the largest and most resilient staking providers globally.

With over $6.5 billion in assets staked and operations across 85+ blockchain networks, Everstake’s track record of resilience, decentralization, and community alignment makes it an ideal partner for Byzantine’s mission to build a modular and inclusive restaking platform.

This collaboration brings Everstake’s battle-tested validator infrastructure to Byzantine’s restaking ecosystem, expanding secure access to high-performance restaking for both retail and institutional users.

Enabling secure, scalable restaking through Everstake

As Byzantine continues to aggregate native and non-native restaking across a growing number of AVS and networks, the reliability and performance of validator partners become paramount. Everstake joins Byzantine’s curated operator network to deliver:

  • Proven validator infrastructure with high uptime, multi-cloud redundancy, and slashing protection
  • Strong community alignment and decentralized operations, critical for maintaining credible neutrality across AVS
  • Support for emerging modular ecosystems and Actively Validated Services (AVS) through Byzantine vaults

By integrating Everstake’s robust validation services, Byzantine ensures restakers can deploy capital across AVS with minimized risk and maximum uptime, while supporting validator decentralization at scale.

Synergistic advantages for restakers and builders

This partnership unlocks multiple benefits for participants across the ecosystem:

For Restakers

  • Institutional-Grade Infrastructure: High availability and security with community-first operators
  • Streamlined Access: Simplified staking and restaking flows through unified Byzantine vaults
  • Optimized Performance: Consistent rewards via Everstake’s operational excellence across multiple chains

For Networks & AVS

  • Decentralized Validator Pooling: Leverage one of the world’s largest non-custodial validator networks
  • Trusted Operator Assurance: Ensure AVS security with a publicly accountable validator partner
  • Composability and Scale: Rapid onboarding and scalable restaking across supported ecosystems

A shared vision for inclusive, modular restaking

“Restaking is not just for institutions. With Everstake, we’re making advanced restaking strategies accessible to everyday users without compromising on performance or security,” said Gaia Ferrero Regis, CEO of Byzantine. “This partnership represents a step forward in democratizing high-yield, high-integrity staking infrastructure.”

“Everstake was built to empower decentralized communities through secure validation. Partnering with Byzantine allows us to extend that mission into the next evolution of modular security,” said Yegor Dudnyk, Co-Founder of Everstake. “Together, we’re scaling restaking for everyone.”
