# What is Aspida

Aspida is a decentralized and adaptable restaking protocol built to function seamlessly across multiple chains and restaking platforms. We are committed to advancing decentralization by prioritizing the integration of underlying services that enhance decentralization, such as our collaboration with Distributed Validated Technology (DVT) solutions like SSV to decentralize validator sets. Our primary focus remains on optimizing risk-adjusted staking yields, achieved through initiatives like integrating native staking via Eigenlayer.
