🚀 LUMIA-Focused Expansion

As Ethera builds toward a long-term vision of capital efficiency across all chains, LUMIA plays a critical role in our strategy. LUMIA is designed to be a fast, cost-efficient Layer 2 optimized for restaking use cases. To accelerate adoption and contribute to LUMIA’s growth, Ethera is expanding with a dedicated roadmap for enabling ETH restaking directly from LUMIA.

The Goal: Grow LUMIA TVL Through Restaking

Our mission is to bootstrap the LUMIA ecosystem by making it a viable restaking hub. To achieve this, we are pursuing a two-step strategy:

✅ Step 1: Onboard ETH to LUMIA via Hyperlane

We are actively working with the Hyperlane team to enable users to stake ETH on LUMIA with a simple, low-cost user experience. Once bridged to LUMIA, the protocol will automatically restake the ETH on Ethereum mainnet, leveraging Ethera’s restaking infrastructure.

This flow allows users to interact with restaking on Ethereum while benefiting from LUMIA’s fast, gas-efficient environment.

✅ Step 2: Expand Restaking Network Support on LUMIA

We’re in discussions with EigenLayer, Symbiotic, and Karak to establish support for native ETH restaking from LUMIA. These integrations are critical to enabling full, trustless restaking capabilities directly on LUMIA, eliminating the need to rely on bridging back to Ethereum in the future.

Why This Matters

🔼 Boost On-Chain LUMIA TVL

By enabling ETH staking and restaking from LUMIA, Ethera directly contributes to higher on-chain activity and total value locked (TVL) on the network.

🔄 Unlock Restaking Utility on L2

This approach brings real restaking use cases to LUMIA and paves the way for AVS support and validator services to emerge natively on the chain.

🤝 Strengthen Ecosystem Alignment

Through strategic partnerships and integrations, Ethera’s LUMIA expansion helps catalyze broader adoption and strengthens collaboration across the LUMIA ecosystem.
