The cross-chain future is no longer a distant dream. Today, we celebrate the testnet launch of StakeEase, an innovative application built on Router Protocol’s Cross-chain Intent Framework (CCIF). By simplifying EigenLayer restaking into a single, effortless click, StakeEase demonstrates the potential of this framework.

CCIF: Breaking Down Blockchain Boundaries

Imagine a world where blockchain silos crumble and seamlessly interacting with any dApp, on any chain becomes a reality. That’s the vision behind CCIF, an industry-shaping infrastructure solution from Router Protocol. It removes the complexities of cross-chain interactions, enabling developers to build user-friendly applications like StakeEase.

Effortless Restaking with StakeEase

StakeEase is a cross-chain restaking aggregator powered by Router Nitro and built on CCIF. It transforms the cumbersome multi-step restaking process into a one-click breeze. Users can:

  • Stake ANY token from ANY chain: With Router Nitro’s seamless bridging capabilities, users can bring any token from any chain and (re)stake it via StakeEase on Ethereum.
  • Choose their path: Users can select their preferred liquid staking and restaking platforms and let StakeEase handle the heavy lifting. No more navigating convoluted interfaces or gas-guzzling transactions.
  • Maximise rewards: StakeEase builds upon Router Nitro’s pathfinder algorithm to sniff out the most profitable restaking routes, ensuring you never leave yield on the table.
  • Earn additional StakeEase points: In addition to EigenLayer points, restaking protocol rewards, and liquid staking rewards, users will receive StakeEase points.

StakeEase is Just the Beginning

The possibilities unlocked by CCIF are endless. Developers can now craft a plethora of user-centric cross-chain applications, spanning DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, GameFi, and beyond. Imagine:

  • NFT marketplaces across multiple chains for increased reach.
  • DAOs operating seamlessly across diverse blockchain ecosystems.
  • Cross-chain DeFi experiences, including but not limited to lending and borrowing, liquid staking, and perpetual swaps.
