Swell is a non-custodial staking protocol where users are able to earn passive income by staking or restaking ETH to earn both blockchain rewards and restaked AVS rewards, and in return be provided with a yield-bearing liquid token (LST or LRT) to hold or participate in the wider DeFi ecosystem to earn additional yield. SWELL is the native governance token of Swell DAO. In addition to governance, SWELL can be restaked alongside other assets like rswETH and swBTC, to enhance the cryptoeconomic security of Swell’s Layer 2 infrastructure services (AVSs).

Reserve Rights (RSR) is the central governance token of the Reserve ecosystem. Reserve is a platform for creating DTFs (Decentralized Token Folios), which are the decentralized, self-custody, onchain version of ETFs. DTFs created on Reserve are called RTokens, and there are two types: Yield RTokens and Index RTokens. When staked on any Yield RToken or locked on any Index RToken, RSR holders gain governance rights to propose and vote on basket and configuration changes. For Yield RTokens, staked RSR serves as overcollateralization, providing first-loss capital in the unlikely case of a collateral default in exchange for a portion of revenue. RSR tokens can also be held unstaked if preferred.
