# 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.

# Introduction

Aspida is a decentralized restaking solution that implements asset restaking on multiple public chains, which simplifies the restaking process and allows users to profit in a safe and non-custodial manner.

Aspida aims to explore the role allocation of the entire chain on the basis of safety, with the ultimate goal of achieving greater decentralization. As an asset protocol, Aspida features easy conversion, transferability across multiple chains, and no limitation on the amount of funds. In terms of liquidity, Aspida is committed to versatility across different scenarios.


# Ethereum and PoS Problem

Back on Dec 1, 2020, Ethereum tested the proof of stake (PoS) approach on its Beacon Chain. Through this approach, users could become validators by staking 32 ETH. Their ETH tokens, however, were subject to a locking period. This meant that the staked assets would be illiquid for a while.

The possibility of all these began enticing new staking users. But there was a serious problem. Not every investor had 32 ETH to spare for staking. And because staking was a viable option for earning passive income, users tried to find alternative ways to stake ETH without jeopardizing liquidity.


# Why Aspida?

* **Security and expertise**. The Aspida team possesses extensive domain expertise in Proof of Stake (PoS) networks and validation, with over 7 years of experience in PoS network validation. Security remains a paramount concern at Aspida, with top-tier security auditors engaged for all smart contract audits, complemented by an ongoing bounty program to further enhance security measures.
* **Protocol-Own-Liquidity**.  The protocol is designed to maximize capital efficiency while internalizing liquidity via protocol-own-liquidity module, to provide secondary market liquidity via different liquidity venues. &#x20;
* **Staking Threshold**. There is no minimum staking threshold, any amount of ETH amounts qualify for accruing staking rewards in Aspida.
* **Optimized risk-adjusted yields**. Aspida seamlessly integrates with restaking protocols such as Eigenlayer to capture additional yield and continually explores further integrations to optimize risk-adjusted yields.
* **Decentralization**. Adhering to Ethereum's decentralized principles, Aspida natively integrated with permissionless operator networks leveraging DVT networks, such as SSV.&#x20;
* **Protocol Backstop**. To mitigate slashing risks, both operators and the Aspida DAO treasury stand ready to cover any losses, providing protocol-native insurance against slashing events.
* **Multichain Interoperability**. Aspida is committed to building customized cross-chain features to enable seamless cross-chain interoperability, facilitating greater flexibility and accessibility across multiple blockchain networks.

# How it works

Aspida serves the following primary functions to a variety of stakeholders:

* Onboarding and registering validators for node operators
* Restaking for users
* Reward distribution for users, node operators and the Aspida DAO


# Duo Token Model

Aspida's LSD operates on a dual-token model consisting of the wrapped token, aETH (a deposit certificate of native ETH tokens wrapped 1:1 with ETH), and saETH (ERC4626), the staking token representation minted upon aETH staking.&#x20;

Primarily, aETH serves as a means for protocol-controlled liquidity provision, significantly enhancing liquidity efficiency. The amount of saETH staking yield increases as users hold more aETH (with no yield). This dual-token model allows users the freedom to choose the yields they wish to capture, whether from liquidity provision or staking.&#x20;


# aETH Token

aETH serves as the deposit certificate of the native ETH token and can be minted with ETH at a 1:1 ratio. It can also be withdrawn into native ETH via unstaking, or users can simply exchange between aETH and ETH via Aspida’s native liquidity module or external DEX.

It's important to note that aETH is solely a wrapped ETH token and does not carry staking yield.

Furthermore, besides ETH, Aspida currently accepts stETH (Lido LST) for minting aETH. A portion of the stETH is allocated as protocol-owned liquidity(POL), enabling the protocol to provide liquidity to external DEXs.&#x20;

As stETH also carries staking yield from Lido, it can facilitate liquidity provision via POL for saETH without diluting the staking yield for saETH holders.

# saETH Token

saETH is a staking ETH LSD staking token,it is an ERC-4626 compliant token that is minted upon aETH staking.

Users are required to stake their aETH into saETH to earn Ethereum's staking yield. This mechanism provides structural liquidity yield, where staking yield is exclusively distributed to those who have staked aETH into saETH. Consequently, it offers a leveraged yield structure (higher than native staking yield) to saETH holders, with the saETH yield increasing as more aETH remains unstaked.

# Withdrawal

**Withdrawal Queue**

The withdrawal process follows a First In, First Out (FIFO) queue. User withdrawal requests are locked in and executed in the order they are completed. Once a withdrawal request is submitted, it cannot be canceled.

**Withdrawal Mechanism**

When a withdrawal request is received, the Aspida protocol evaluates it against the available ETH balance in the contract:

If the withdrawal request amount is less than the available ETH balance, the withdrawal operation will be immediately confirmed.

If the withdrawal request amount exceeds the available ETH balance, it triggers Withdrawal Strategies.

During this period, if the available balance within the contract meets the withdrawal request, it is prioritized without waiting for the completion of the Node Withdrawal. This ensures the fastest possible processing time for user withdrawal requests.

The Withdrawal Strategies prioritize on:

**Exiting from Lido:**

* Strategy Module will initiate unstaking stETH from Lido or Eigenlayer (in the case of interacting Eigenlayer strategy). The unstaking process occurs on Lido and is subject to[ Lido’s withdrawal time](https://dune.com/lido/lido-v2).
* Once the withdrawal is completed on Lido, a transaction is initiated to claim ETH and automatically deposit it into our core contract for the requested withdrawal request in the queue to be claimed.

If stETH in the reserves are fully unstaked from Lido and still unable to meet the Aspida’s withdrawal request, exiting from Native Staking will be initiated:

**Exiting from Native Staking:**

* When exiting from Native Staking is initiated, Aspida’s validators will start the validator exit process. The next step is waiting for the[ Ethereum Validator Exit Queue](https://www.validatorqueue.com). Once the Exit Queue is satisfied, the validator’s status becomes “exited”, during which the validator still CANNOT withdraw funds due to a slash check.
* After 24 hours, the status will change from ‘exited’ to “withdrawal\_possible”, which means it’s truly out of the system and is permitted to move funds.
* Validators will receive the withdrawal fund when the status changes from “withdrawal\_possible” to “withdrawal\_done”, which will enter into unstaking withdrawal queue. The longest wait time in this queue is 9 days.
* Aspida will receive the withdrawal fund once Validators complete these processes, then Aspida users can initiate a claim transaction to retrieve its fund.

To summarize, if there is enough ETH in the reserve, users’ withdrawal will be immediate, otherwise, the normal withdrawal process (from request to claim fund) will be initiated and takes a approximate 1-8 days.

**Slashing**

When a node undergoes withdrawal, potential network slashings may occur. In the event it happens, the protocol calculates the amount based on the incurred slash quantity during the withdrawal and ensures that the user's exchange ratio remains unaffected. This optimization guarantees the protection of user assets. &#x20;

*\*Special Situation: In the event widespread network slashing occurs, an emergency plan to halt withdrawals will be initiated.*

# Rewards and Fees

Aspida currently is running a campaign, hence the protocol fees are currently set at 5% until May 31, 2024, of which, 3% will be allocated to node operators and 2% to Aspida’s DAO’s treasury. The protocol fee will be deducted from the total staking rewards upon each weekly distribution.

The protocol fee will be resumed to 10% (5% to node operators and 5% to Aspida DAO treasury) after the campaign. This allocation and distribution proportion can be adjusted through DAO governance in the future. &#x20;

The following table details the current distribution of  liquid staking rewards and fees:

| Entity        | Rewards |
| ------------- | ------- |
| Stakers       | 95%     |
| Node Operator | 3%      |
| Aspid DAO     | 2%      |

Updated 09.03.2024


# Node Operators

During the initial rollout, Aspida will onboard a pre-approved consortium of professional node operators. As liquidity and stability grow and risk mitigation measures such as Distributed Validated Technology (DVT) mature, the operator base will expand gradually, transitioning towards a permissionless model in alignment with the protocol’s principles.


# Node Operator Set

Firstly, Aspida has established a whitelist of trusted partners who have undergone a thorough vetting process. These partners have demonstrated a track record of reliability, security, and expertise in managing validators. They will initially be responsible for managing the validators in services.

In the later stages, Aspida will implement a node rating system as we transition towards decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) governance. This system will allow the community to participate in evaluating and rating node operators based on various criteria such as performance, uptime, security measures, and responsiveness. This decentralized approach ensures that the selection process is fair, transparent, and aligned with the collective decision-making of the community.

In parallel, we are also working on integrating the DVT platform to further diversify the validator set.&#x20;

By combining the initial whitelist of trusted partners with a future node rating system governed by the community, Aspida aims to ensure the highest performance and security standards for validators while fostering community involvement and decentralized decision-making.


# DVT Network

DVT constitutes a technological prerequisite sanctioning an Ethereum PoS validator to function on over one node or device. This enables a group of nodes, managed by an individual, group, or community of stakeholders, to collectively function as a single validator on the Ethereum network. Operating a validator as a group of nodes enhances its resilience and significantly reduces the slashing risk for validators, regardless of their size. Ultimately, this improves validator participation, leading to greater stake decentralization.

Aspida has been in close communication with DVT Networks (e.g., the SSV Network) and plans to collaborate in the future. DVT Networks effectively mitigate validator risks, thereby enhancing the security of Aspida. Both security and decentralization are core focuses for Aspida.


# Security


# Audits

Adspida's smart contracts are audited by MixBytes.&#x20;

* The audit report for aETH/saETH (Liquid Staking) can be found [here](https://github.com/aspidanet/documents/tree/main/audits).
* Aspida will engage in continuous auditing post-mainnet launch.


# Bug Bounty

* The Aspida Bug Bounty Program is set to kick off on February 22, 2024.
* Everyone can report bugs and earn rewards via the Immunefi platform at: <https://immunefi.com/bounty/aspida/>.
* The rewards will vary depending on the severity of disclosed vulnerability.


# Risks

Liquid staking protocols in general pose several risks to ETH stakers that warrant acknowledgment.

**Smart Contract Risk**: Aspida’s smart contracts could potentially contain defects or vulnerabilities, though mitigated through regular audits and bug bounty programs.

**ETH 2.0 Technology Risk**: As Aspida builds upon Ethereum, it naturally inherits the underlying technology's risks, which may include flaws and vulnerabilities.

**Penalties and Slashing**: Node operators' validators risk penalties and slashing by the Ethereum Beacon Chain for missed attestations or satisfying slashing criteria, potentially imperiling a significant share of staked ETH over time. Aspida mitigates this through access to reputable, professional node operators, collateral requirements, and insurance coverage.

**saETH Price Fluctuations**: Secondary market saETH token prices could depeg if markets become oversupplied with saETH.
