AVS (Actively Validated Service)

A service that borrows pooled, restaked security instead of launching its own validator set.

What an AVS is

An Actively Validated Service is any protocol, a bridge, oracle, sequencer, or data-availability layer, that is secured by restaked capital rather than its own token and validators.

Why it matters

AVSs lower the cost of launching trustworthy infrastructure, which is why restaking became a foundational primitive.
