Bedrock scores 7.3 out of 10 and ranks #7 of 8 in the best liquid restaking protocols table, strongest on slashing exposure (7.4) and weakest on yield quality (7.2).
One of the few protocols extending restaking to non-Ethereum assets, including Bitcoin-adjacent designs. Novel surface area on top of an already novel category, which is reflected in the scoring.
4 axes, weighted as published in the table’s methodology. Each score below is read from the fact printed under it.
7.4/ 35% of the score
Extends restaking to non-Ethereum assets, where slashing regimes are least established; exposure is published per product.
7.2/ 25% of the score
Operators are selected by the protocol under published criteria and institutional partners are named.
7.2/ 20% of the score
Withdrawals live per product; liquidity across its token set is thin.
7.2/ 20% of the score
Yield mixes staking rewards with incentives; secured-service fee income is small.
Bedrock extends restaking to non-Ethereum assets, where the slashing regimes are newest and least tested. Ethereum restaking is itself a young idea; applying the same construction where the penalty mechanics have even less history is a further step out, and the score reflects that rather than any specific failure.
Exposure is published per product, operators are selected under published criteria and institutional partners are named. Withdrawals are live per product. On disclosure it meets the category standard.
Thin across its token set, which is the practical constraint: an exit at size depends on redemption rather than on the market, and redemption in this category takes as long as the underlying layers require.
Depositors who specifically want restaking exposure outside Ethereum and are sizing the position as the experiment it currently is.
Ethereum's slashing conditions have years of production behind them; the equivalents on newer networks and Bitcoin-adjacent designs mostly do not. Less history means less certainty about how penalties behave under stress, which is the risk you are being paid for.
As an experiment rather than a core position. Published disclosure and named partners raise the floor; they do not shorten the record.
It applies restaking to assets beyond Ethereum, including Bitcoin-adjacent designs, where slashing regimes are the least established in the sector.
It carries the ordinary restaking risks plus the novelty of non-Ethereum penalty mechanics and thin token liquidity. Exposure and operators are published, which is the disclosure standard, but the underlying designs have short records.
Withdrawals are live per product, but on-chain liquidity is thin, so redemption rather than a market sale is the realistic route out.
