Below, you can dig into some of our restaking research, including what we believe in the first peer-reviewed research paper about restaking. 

* [**AVS Selection Framework**](https://www.gauntlet.xyz/resources/avs-selection-framework): We lay out a mathematical framework for approaching AVS selection, which will ultimately drive better capital efficiency.
* [**Liquid Restaking Token (LRT) Market Risk Framework**](https://www.gauntlet.xyz/resources/liquid-restaking-token-lrt-market-risk-framework): We provide a framework for evaluating LRT market risk, focusing on four main risk attributes: external liquidity, withdrawals, LRT volatility, and DeFi risk.
* [**Optimizing AVS Allocations for Liquid Restaking Tokens**](https://www.gauntlet.xyz/resources/optimizing-avs-allocations-for-liquid-restaking-tokens-lrts): We explore various options for EtherFi’s AVS allocation strategy and determine how it may impact its yield accrual.
* [**How Much Should You Pay for Restaking Security?**](https://www.gauntlet.xyz/resources/how-much-should-you-pay-for-restaking-security) Our model shows that an adversary with a strictly submodular profit combined with strategic node operators who respond to incentives can avoid large-scale cascading failures.
* [**Restaking Collateral Health**](https://www.gauntlet.xyz/resources/restaking-collateral-health): We suggest a comprehensive framework for evaluating collateral health in the context of restaking protocols and AVSs. An AVS’s economic security is associated with the price stability of its collateral, since a drop in the collateral’s market value can create profitable attacks to corrupt the AVS.
* ‍[**Staking Stablecoins — Assessing the Economic Security of Stablecoin Collateral in Restaking**](https://www.gauntlet.xyz/resources/staking-stablecoins-assessing-the-economic-security-of-stablecoin-collateral-in-restaking): We examine the role of stablecoins in restaking. As more (re)staking platforms support staking with arbitrary ERC-20s, stablecoins are becoming a viable means for providing economic security for new networks such as AVSs.
