Glossary

This glossary pins the vocabulary used across Lyrasing documentation. The definitions assume builder-level familiarity with Ethereum staking and lending markets; they focus on how each term is used in an AVS-aware collateral model.

AVS

In current EigenCloud docs, an AVS is an Autonomous Verifiable Service: a service whose offchain work creates onchain-verifiable commitments backed by cryptoeconomic guarantees. In Lyrasing docs, AVS is the service layer that can add task, operator-set, allocation, and slashing risk to restaked collateral. Use EigenLayer-specific AVS language only for EigenLayer-style services; use Symbiotic’s network/vault vocabulary for Symbiotic-specific designs. [EL-AVS] [EL-TERMS] [SYM-NETWORK]

LRT

A Liquid Restaking Token is treated in Lyrasing docs as an issuer-specific, tokenized restaked exposure, not as a universal EigenLayer or Symbiotic protocol primitive. The collateral review must look through the token into its backing, redemption path, operator exposure, AVS or network exposure, slashing treatment, liquidity, and oracle support. Use issuer docs for token mechanics; Renzo’s ezETH page is one primary-source example of an issuer framing its token as representing a user’s EigenLayer restaked position. [RENZO-EZETH]

Restaking

Restaking reuses staked or liquid-token economic security beyond its base staking context, but the mechanics are protocol-specific. EigenLayer documents liquid restaking as depositing liquid tokens into EigenLayer smart contracts and native restaking as changing validator withdrawal credentials to EigenLayer contracts. Symbiotic describes restaking through vaults that hold collateral and delegate slashable stake across networks and operators. Lyrasing uses restaking only as a risk-bearing collateral path, not as a yield promise. [EL-RESTAKING] [SYM-VAULT]

Slashing

Slashing is a penalty path for broken commitments by operators or validators. On EigenLayer, an AVS determines slashing for broken Operator Set commitments; the penalty applies to Unique Stake allocated to that Operator Set after the applicable safety and time delays, and funds may be burned or redistributed. In Symbiotic, network middleware submits a request to a vault Slasher or VetoSlasher; the module validates the capture timestamp, remaining guarantee, and amount before a Burner processes the penalized collateral. Lyrasing models slashing as a collateral impairment path, not as an implemented mechanism in this repository. [EL-SLASHING] [EL-OPSETS] [SYM-SLASHING] [SYM-VAULT]

LTV

Loan-to-value is the borrowing limit assigned to collateral. In Lyrasing docs, LTV is downstream of AVS exposure, collateral liquidity, exit timing, oracle quality, and insurance capacity. It is not a static label attached to all ETH-denominated assets.

AVS exposure

AVS exposure is a Lyrasing review term, not a protocol field. It is the set of services, operator sets, operators, networks, vaults, slashing conditions, allocation/deallocation rules, capture windows, veto paths, and withdrawal or safety delays that can affect a restaked position. The term covers direct exposure and correlated exposure shared through operators, vaults, or reused collateral; for Symbiotic-specific analysis, prefer network/vault/operator wording over EigenLayer-only AVS wording. [EL-OPSETS] [EL-RESTAKING] [SYM-NETWORK] [SYM-VAULT] [SYM-SLASHING]

Collateral factor

Collateral factor is the risk-adjusted percentage of an asset’s value that can support borrowing. It is the policy output that eventually informs LTV. In Lyrasing, a collateral factor should compress when AVS exposure is opaque, correlated, poorly insured, or hard to observe.

Insurance pool

An insurance pool is a reserve or capital account intended to absorb specified slashing-driven losses before suppliers are impaired. The term does not imply an implemented contract in this repository. Coverage must be mapped to a defined risk surface, capacity, trigger process, and payout order.

Looping / leverage

Looping is recursively supplying collateral, borrowing against it, and resupplying the borrowed exposure. Leverage is the resulting amplified exposure. For LRTs, looping can compound price, liquidity, oracle, and slashing risks, so Lyrasing treats loop depth as a risk parameter rather than a product headline.

Oracle/risk methodology

Oracle/risk methodology is the combined policy for observing prices, restaking exposure, slashing state, insurance capacity, and governance overrides. A price feed alone is not enough for AVS-aware collateral. The methodology must distinguish measurable inputs from assumptions and must specify how stale or missing inputs affect LTV.
