Gravita's Role & Contribution

Deployment of Constellation on Ethereum Mainnet

Gravita is responsible for deploying Constellation on the Ethereum mainnet. By leveraging its technical expertise, Gravita facilitates the integration of Constellation with existing Ethereum infrastructure, making it accessible to a broader user base.

Leveraging NodeSet's Decentralized Infrastructure

Through the partnership with NodeSet, Gravita utilizes a large decentralized operator cohort to non-custodially manage validators on Rocket Pool. This collaboration enhances the decentralization of the staking process, distributing assets across numerous operators to minimize risk and improve network resilience.

Gravita's Contributions to xrETH

Leveraging Multi-Tiered Liquidity Management

Gravita implements a multi-tiered liquidity management strategy within Constellation to ensure that depositors can burn xrETH for ETH at Net Asset Value (NAV) across all market conditions. This strategy includes:

  1. Deposit Pool Management: Maintaining a reserve of deposits for liquidity purposes, ensuring that users can withdraw their assets even during high-demand periods.

  2. Incentivizing Liquidity Providers: Collaborating with liquidity providers across DeFi venues to establish and maintain healthy secondary market liquidity for xrETH.

  3. Emergency Liquidity Measures: In situations where both the deposit pool and secondary markets are insufficient, Gravita can release liquidity from validators using pre-signed exit messages to meet withdrawal needs.

  4. Diversifying the Deposit Base: Engaging with significant market participants to distribute the deposit base, minimizing the impact of individual liquidity needs on the protocol.

Integrations with DeFi Protocols

Gravita actively seeks to integrate xrETH into various DeFi platforms to maximize its utility for users. These integrations include:

  • Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs): Building deep liquidity pools for xrETH against ETH and other LSTs on DEXs to facilitate seamless trading and improve price stability.

  • Lending Markets: Onboarding xrETH as a collateral asset in lending protocols such as Dolomite, ZeroLend, Dyad, and Gravita's own Collateralized Debt Position (CDP) platform.

  • Yield Platforms and Aggregators: Partnering with yield trading platforms like Pendle and yield aggregators to provide users with opportunities to maximize their returns.

  • Cross-Chain Compatibility: Evaluating and implementing bridging solutions to ensure xrETH's compatibility across Ethereum's extended ecosystem, including Layer 2 networks.

Ensuring Liquidity and Accessibility

Gravita's strategies ensure that xrETH remains liquid and accessible under all market conditions. By maintaining a robust deposit pool, incentivizing liquidity providers, and engaging with significant market participants, Gravita enhances the liquidity profile of xrETH, ensuring that users can enter and exit positions efficiently.
