Introduction

Helix Labs is institutional DeFi infrastructure that enables strategic token holders—foundations, validators, and large stakers—to access liquidity from staked positions without unwinding governance participation or triggering sell pressure on native chains.

We're designing native validator infrastructure across Cardano, Internet Computer (ICP), BNB Chain, Aptos, Sui, Solana, and Ethereum — enabling institutional-grade liquid staking without bridge risk or centralized custody.

Our cross-chain coordination layer connects sovereign L1 staking yields to institutional settlement networks (Canton Network) and decentralized lending markets (Stellar Network), allowing users to collateralize LSTs while preserving native staking yields and governance rights.

The Helix Ecosystem

Helix Vault — Native liquid staking vaults across multiple L1 blockchains, issuing LSTs that maintain full governance rights and staking rewards on origin chains.

Helix Terminal — Unified multi-chain liquidity command center for tracking positions, managing collateral across lending protocols, and optimizing yield.

Canton Network CDP Protocol — Collateralized debt positions using multi-chain LSTs as collateral, settling on Canton's institutional DeFi infrastructure.

Stellar Network Integration — Cross-chain LST lending that brings external liquidity into Stellar's DeFi ecosystem via Axelar/Chainlink CCIP bridges.

Core Infrastructure

Native Validator Operations — We run sovereign validators on each supported blockchain, providing direct control of underlying assets and eliminating bridge security vulnerabilities.

Canton Network Integration — Purpose-built for institutional settlement, our CDP protocol enables foundations and validators to finance operations while maintaining staking positions and governance participation.

Stellar Network Integration — Cross-chain collateralized lending that channels external L1 liquidity into Stellar's institutional lending markets (Blend, Aquarius) and RWA protocols.

Chain Fusion Security — Leveraging ICP's trust-minimized cross-chain verification technology to provide cryptographic proof of reserves across heterogeneous blockchain architectures.
