Kairos Research is a crypto research firm focused primarily on restaking, as well as the broader staking economy and its influence across DeFi. Our team brings several years of crypto industry experience from across the Binance.US research, staking, and growth teams. Additionally, our team members are active governance delegates for other top DeFi protocols like Jito on Solana.

We have been active participants in DeFi across the Ethereum, Solana, and Cosmos ecosystems for over four years, and believe that this experience translates well into being effective governance delegates.

Throughout 2024, we have closely followed the restaking landscape on a day-to-day basis. We publish publicly available monthly reports on AVSs, the state of LRT liquidity and utilization, and protocol (token) value accrual. Our holistic viewpoint of the EigenLayer & broader restaking ecosystem, including etherfi’s partners and peers, positions us well to objectively understand the factors that position etherfi for long-term, sustainable success.

We are excited to use our publicly available, objective research to help provide data and narratives to the rest of the etherfi community, so that we can make well-educated and value-accretive decisions for the protocol. We will use our votes to try and best align ETHFI token holders, the etherfi protocol, EigenLayer, and the Ethereum ecosystem at large.
