The Problem

Generic LRTs lock users into a single operator set and a single risk profile. Restaking on Symbiotic / EigenLayer also requires deep operator due-diligence that retail users cannot perform.

The Solution

Mellow lets specialized curators (Re7, MEV Capital, Steakhouse, Gauntlet, etc.) define risk-constrained vaults — operator whitelists, asset whitelists, action whitelists — and issue LRT receipts on top of them, while smart contracts enforce that curators cannot exceed their mandate.

Why it Matters

Modular curator-driven LRT factory rather than a single-issuer LRT, plus a Core Vaults track with institutional KYC/AML hooks and Copper/Ceffu custodial integrations not offered by competitors.
