2) Karak Mainnet Launch Early Access: Accelerating
@Ethereum
with Modular Security
Karak is the risk management Layer 2 blockchain supercharging restaking, AI, and a new generation of secure applications designed for the next billion users
Karak, the keystone to security
3) Karak XP Early Access: Like double XP weekend but early beta
Early Access is invite only and only available for a very limited time

A few codes to kick things off
- UWS6T
- NKADM
- 6JGUT
- ZMNRT
- 95UTA
Karak already ranks top 3 in the number of blobs posted on Celestia, highlighting how a high-throughput modular DA enables unique, hypersecured rollapps to scale
And very soon, we will be unveiling [redacted], a new layer of security for rollups on Celestiaโ๏ธ๐ก๏ธ๐

Once you have access, bridge assets like ETH and USDC to earn XP, as well as refer other users to get boosted XP ahead of Mainnet Open Access in the coming weeks
Early Access users get more XP based on how much they bridge and who they invite
To maintain your XP ensure that your funds remain bridged
We will be unveiling [redacted] next week, but it is not what you think
Think bigger, much bigger
Stay tuned๐
As mentioned previously, security is our constant priority and a highly iterative process that we are always aiming to improve
We'll be announcing additional security initiatives in the coming weeks
Stay tuned for more alfalfa
Check out our docs here:
We also want to highlight the team is doxxed and backed by the best partners and investors in the world
We're excited to continue building our lofty vision of what restaking should be, and that's bringing open, permissionless restaking to the people
Real open innovation
Karak is excited to announce that Karak Private Access is now live!
Private access is only accessible with an invite and those who join and restake earn Karak XP
Figure out how to get an invite code
If you are having a hard time finding one, drop by our Discord
*Hint: ZYYN1*
Karak embeds modular security at the network layer allowing for developers to never sacrifice innovation for security, and enabling them to launch hypersecure applications and rollapps that are safe for users on day 1
Hypersecure rollapps from day 1, for everyone, everywhere
And very soon, Hyperlane will be helping facilitate a first-of-its-kind security product to supercharge the modular security expansion
Available exclusively only on Karak
More alpha to come soon
Stay tunedโฉ๐
Caution ๐จ
Karak does not currently have a token - anyone else posing as the Karak project is phishing and spam
Always confirm information with official channels first
Please note
This is merely Season 2 of the Early Access XP Program
But to maintain your XP ensure that your funds remain bridged
And participation in Season 3 of the Early Access XP Program will be fruitful ๐
Karak was built by crypto natives and a team with experience across Coinbase, Google, AWS, Microsoft, Twitter, Goldman Sachs, and raised $48M at $1B+ from the best in the world
To maintain your XP ensure that your funds remain bridged
Very soon we will be unveiling [redacted]
But [redacted] isn't what you think, think bigger, much bigger
Stay tuned๐
Also note that past K2 bridgers XP will be migrated onto the new Karak app, but you must deposit and restake your assets on the Karak app to maintain your XP
In the meantime, we will be unveiling huge announcements in the coming weeks
the de facto sandbox for all DSS's to develop, test, and launch mission-critical protocol upgrades before having to enshrine services on the L1
Moreover, by adding custom precompiles that enable even more validators to validate DSS's...
These applications, protocols, and distributed secure services use cases range from chains and rollups to ZK Provers and AI Coprocessors, as well as several novel DSS's to be announced in the coming weeks
If you're a talented team, please drop us a message
K2 is providing the leading infrastructure that will allow for services to become more decentralized than ever before
Universal security begets infinite innovation
Over the past several months, we have built a great relationship with
@bytes032
and his world-class team
@milotruck
@HollaWaldfee100
at
@RenascenceLabs
Among many things, they provided support in auditing K2 (L2 built for Karak) as well as leading the audit for Karak Restaking
For a limited time only, users can earn Karak XP on top of PT yield
Who benefits?
- Pendle rswETH PT stakers
- Pendle weETH PT stakers
- Pendle rsETH PT stakers
Available on both Mainnet and Arbitrum
A fruitful future for the orange ones is imminent๐
Additionally, K2 is a risk management L2 currently built on top of Karak that will leverage services provided by distributed secure services
As performing operations and activities on the L1 can be prohibitively expensive for both developers and users, K2 will also serve as...
Why restaking for everyone?
Karak makes it easy to provide cryptoeconomic security with any asset, unlocking a new design space for developers to seamlessly and securely create innovative infrastructure designs
Restake here:
Please note this campaign is only available for the next month
Points will be reflected on the Frax site later in the week but will be applied retroactively
Much more alpha to come soon for the orange ones๐
Hyperlane is the first interoperability layer that enables you to permissionlessly connect any blockchain, out-of-the-box
Hyperlane's permissionless interoperability powers Karak's interchain communication across blockchains like Arbitrum, Optimism, and many more to come soon๐
One issue that some users have been experiencing is the issue of seeing a Blockaid warning on MetaMask when depositing into certain pools
To reiterate, the contracts are safe and verified on Etherscan
We are working on resolving this misunderstanding on some of the pools
In the end, the security of a restaked protocol is measured by the dollars of economic security
These dollars can be provided in assets beyond ETH without sacrificing security
Many assets have lower opportunity costs versus ETH, meaning the Distributed Secure Service (DSS) has an easier and much more viable path to sustainable yields
In an ETH-only environment, a DSS has to compete against every ETH yield opportunity with a new, novel risk profile
Karak changes this
Karak enables users to repurpose their staked assets to extend Ethereum as well as other trust networks' security to other applications
Karak also enables protocols to tap into robust and secure trust networks from day one, making the process of bootstrapping security more scalable, accessible, and affordable
Once you have access
You can deposit and restake LSTs, LRTs, and a variety of other assets on different chains such as Ethereum Mainnet, Arbitrum, and Karak's K2
By doing so, you can earn Staking Rewards + Restaking Rewards + Restaking Points + LRT Points + Karak XP at once
However, security is a perpetual priority and a constantly iterative process
So to that effect, we will be going under another audit this week
The security of the protocol will not stop there, we'll be announcing additional security initiatives in the coming weeks as well
As developers get access to trust networks in different ecosystems, not only are they empowered to create powerful applications, protocols, and distributed secure services (DSS) that have never existed before, but are also able to supercharge current services that exist today
By bringing native restaking to Mantle, Karak brings a new wave of innovation to one of the fastest growing ecosystems in the industry with a thriving community
Get started here:
And this is merely the beginning
Accelerate๐
The current deployments are verified on Etherscan public on Github, and governed by a multisig and 2-day timelock for maximal security which you can read more about in the docs here:
Private Access members get more XP based on how much they deposit and restake as well as who they invite
Make sure to share your code with others to earn boosted XP
Please note, Private Access will be around for a very limited time only
Please note that
This is merely Phase 1 of the Early Access XP Program
But to maintain your XP ensure that your funds remain bridged
And participation in the next Phase (TBA) of the Early Access XP Program will be fruitful ๐
