In industries or markets driven by attention, such as the crypto market, it is crucial for new technologies to continuously incorporate elements that drive progress, or else they risk losing relevance. One common example in the crypto industry is the use of user incentives. Restaking serves as a prime example of the consequences of lacking sustainable incentives in such a market. While initially a popular concept due to its potential to enhance industry security, restaking lost momentum as platforms failed to adequately reward users for their economic contributions. However, the evolving nature of the crypto industry means that forgotten narratives like restaking can resurface with adjustments. The introduction of curators in shared security frameworks presents a promising opportunity to rejuvenate the restaking narrative by ensuring users are properly motivated to support blockchain networks. Later in this article, the role of curators in restaking models will be defined, shedding light on their emergence and significance.
