Composed · as of Sep 3, 2026Tracked · 1 handle · in graph since Sep 3, 2026

Suzaku introduces restaking to Avalanche, allowing users to secure L1s while unlocking new yield opportunities in a trusted environment. Suzaku helps build and secure new sovereign L1s on Avalanche by connecting validators, stakers, and infrastructure providers. If you want exposure to restaking rewards and the expansion of the network, Suzaku offers ways to participate via its SUZ token and relayer services. Restaking/dual-staking middleware purpose-built to secure new Avalanche L1s; raised $1.5M.

Ecosystem

Enrichment note

This entry is a SHELL: it was created from the Cascade ecosystem directory (captured 2026-08-28) plus the §B2 ranking pass, and its prose above is directory-sourced rather than editorial. Nothing here has been independently verified beyond the listed sources. It exists so the graph can reason about Suzaku and resolve its handle; it should be replaced with a researched About body before it carries coverage.

Suzaku's own documentation states it is built by the Ash team, a.k.a. E36 Knots; E36 Knots' own site states 'We are building Ash and Suzaku for the Avalanche network'; SwissBorg independently states Suzaku 'was founded by the Ash team'. E36 KNOTS is a French société par actions simplifiée registered in Paris (RCS 949 114 888). NOTE the direction of travel has since flipped in branding — ash.center now presents itself as 'Ash by Suzaku' — but the build relation asserted here is what all three sources state.

Léo Schoukroun is a co-founder of Suzaku and CTO of E36 Knots, the company that builds it. E36 Knots' own team page lists him as CTO and one of the two 'technical founders'; SwissBorg names 'the co-founders Léo and Gauthier'. NAME CAUTION: the Avalanche Foundation post renders him as 'Léo Paul' — a first-name-only rendering of the hyphenated French forename Léo-Paul. The surname Schoukroun comes from his own company's team page and is preferred here.
