Mission and Vision

One Stake, Infinite Impact.

The ultimate modular staking portal for Liquid Staking and Restaking.

MilkyWay is an application-specific Layer 1 blockchain that combines Liquid Staking and opt-in Restaking in a single, modular framework. Liquid Staking keeps tokens liquid while they earn base-chain rewards. Restaking lets the same collateral secure additional on-chain or off-chain services, creating a unified pool of security and liquidity. Built with the Cosmos SDK and CometBFT, MilkyWay has delivered audited, production-grade solutions since its launch of Celestia’s liquid staking.

Mission

MilkyWay unlocks the full utility of staked assets by allowing users to:

  • Stake without lock ups through liquid staked tokens

  • Deploy capital on high impact DeFi integrations across multiple chains

  • Boost yield through capital efficient DeFi opportunities across ecosystems

Stakers keep liquidity and can opt into restaking and defi strategies for additional yield, and developers avoid the cost of maintaining new validator sets through leveraging a shared pool of security.

Vision

We aim for a modular, multichain future where liquid-staked tokens move freely between ecosystems and a single collateral pool secures diverse services such as bridges, oracles, and data layers. Smaller networks and rollups gain enterprise-grade security without rebuilding infrastructure, while token holders retain maximum flexibility. Users gain exposure to multiple revenue streams, allowing capital to be deployed efficiently across multiple ecosystems under a unified user experience.

Why MilkyWay?

  • Trusted and Proven: As early pioneers in Celestia’s liquid staking, we have built a consistent track record of secure, well-tested systems.

  • Capital Efficiency: Liquid staking lets you earn rewards on your staked tokens while still using them in DeFi. Restaking goes further, enabling the same collateral to secure additional services for extra yield.

  • Plug-and-Play Security: Developers can skip the tedious process of building a separate validator set. By tapping into MilkyWay’s restaking framework, they simply define security parameters, and stakers can opt in if the yields look attractive.

  • Community-Driven Innovation: Our ecosystem spans bridging solutions, DeFi platforms, Actively Validated Services (AVSs), and node operators. Everyone gains from shared liquidity and security in one cohesive network.

In essence, MilkyWay unlocks advanced composability in the modular space. By connecting all stakeholders, we simplify how staking collateral is allocated and deployed.
