Tanssi Foundation announces the expansion of the Tanssi blockchain infrastructure protocol to Ethereum, enabling the rapid launch of decentralized networks—also known as Actively Validated Services (AVSs)—in minutes. This expansion, driven by a strategic collaboration with Symbiotic, a leading permissionless restaking protocol, will allow developers to deploy highly customizable and decentralized networks, leveraging Ethereum’s robust security.
While rollups have been key to scaling Ethereum, they may fall short when strong decentralization, customization, or interoperability are needed. Decentralized networks, or AVSs, build on these strengths by providing a more flexible and versatile approach. Developers gain direct access to Ethereum’s shared security through restaking, backed by over $45 billion worth of ETH. However, networks using restaking security are still a new and complex technology, typically requiring months to launch due to significant infrastructure needs, ongoing management, and resource demands.
Tanssi drastically simplifies this process, reducing launch times from months to minutes and streamlining management, making it easier for builders to deploy and maintain their decentralized networks in a customizable environment. This approach not only eases the development process but also accelerates time to market, allowing projects to reach their users faster.
By leveraging Symbiotic’s restaking protocol, Tanssi enables networks on Ethereum to easily tap into billions of dollars in shared security from staked ETH. This approach enhances decentralization by providing a permissionless network of shared operators for block production, ensuring fast transaction finality and avoiding reliance on a single sequencer.
“Tanssi is providing developers in the Symbiotic ecosystem with an easy-to-use interface to one of the most sophisticated and battle-tested blockchain development stacks. By integrating with Symbiotic’s shared security protocol, projects using Tanssi can tap into Ethereum’s liquidity and launch an appchain with restaking functionality in minutes,” says Felix Lutsch, Head of Ecosystem at Symbiotic.
This collaboration also introduces new possibilities for developers by integrating Substrate’s flexible SDK for complete customization. With Tanssi’s framework, developers can quickly implement AVSs using prebuilt templates and modules, achieving full decentralization without relying on a single sequencer.
Tanssi-based AVSs are blockchain systems that leverage Ethereum’s shared security, enabling developers to create highly customized protocols. This includes application-specific blockchains, alternative VMs, bridges, data availability layers, and more, providing developers with the tools to address use cases that traditional rollup architectures may not effectively serve.
Francisco Agosti, Tanssi Co-founder, says, “Decentralized networks, also known as Actively Validated Services (AVSs), offer new possibilities for applications that don’t fit within the rollup model. Tanssi changes the game by providing a fully customizable, decentralized environment where developers can launch Ethereum-based networks in minutes. We expect Tanssi to catalyze growth in Ethereum’s restaking security market, making decentralization and accessibility easier than ever.”
Supported by investors like Arrington Capital, SNZ, HashKey, Borderless, and Fenbushi, Tanssi has raised $9M to fuel its growth. With over 2,000 application-specific blockchains already deployed on its testnet, Tanssi is set to establish a new standard in the Ethereum ecosystem, with its mainnet launch expected in early 2025.
