The Swell City Buildathon has begun and we’ve introduced new functionality to the chain including one click leveraged restaking on Euler.

The end of Q1 is a time to reflect on progress, with Swellchain now hosting hundreds of ecosystem integrations including dApps, infrastructure, and analytics platforms—all of which will soon be accessible via a new Swellchain website.

In the last two weeks, our hackathon event—the Swell City Buildathon—has begun, and we’ve introduced new functionality to the chain including one click leveraged restaking on Euler.

Read on for more information about this and other highlights in your latest Deep Dive.

💻 Coming soon: Swellchain website

The new Swellchain site will be your one-stop hub for everything Swellchain — from dApps and infrastructure to powerful analytics.

But that's not all… it will also give you a glimpse of something we've been quietly building behind the scenes: a brand-new restaking research tool that will give you access to real-time data, breaking news, and deep analytics from across the restaking ecosystem 👀

💻 Swell x Obol Partnership

Swell is partnering with Obol to include Obol Distributor Validators, and opting into the Obol Incentive program to bolster restaking rewards.

Integrating with Obol enables Swell to increase the efficiency of liquid restaking, whilst boosting decentralization as we continue to gradually reduce centralization vectors across our node operator set.
