What Suzaku is
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.

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.
