Introduction

Primer on Dunes, Karak and universal liquid restaking as a primitive

What is Karak?

"Karak is the universal restaking layer that makes it easy to provide cryptoeconomic security with any asset, and unlocks a new design space for developers to seamlessly and securely create innovative infrastructure designs."

Read more about Karak at the official documentation pages

What is Dunes?

Dunes is a universal Liquid Restaking Token (LRT) protocol designed to create liquidity for otherwise illiquid assets that are deposited into restaking platforms, such as Karak Network.

Dunes offers to unlock new levels of restaked capital efficiency, maximizing opportunities for its users while mitigating the risks and challenges found in the wider restaking ecosystem, still in its early stages.

What is Universal Liquid Restaking?

Karak's own Universal Liquid Restaking (ULR) is a new restaking primitive introduced by Karak allowing users to restake disparate assets such as ETH derivatives, LSTs, LRTs and even stablecoins.

This form of multiasset restaking supercharges the security of the network itself in new and powerful ways that were not possible with single-asset restaking (ETH).
