Expand Your Restaking Journey to Symbiotic

Symbiotic is a decentralized, permissionless restaking protocol that allows networks to establish and control their own restaking models. This system offers modularity, enabling projects to integrate a customizable security layer, select collateral types, operator setups, and slashing mechanisms according to their needs.

Symbiotic’s modular structure lets networks configure restaking parameters independently. Users deposit assets (ERC-20 tokens, LP tokens, or withdrawal credentials) into vaults, which then allocate this collateral across selected networks. The system offers flexibility, allowing networks to choose the specifics of operator selection, slashing methods, and reward distribution.

Vaults in Symbiotic act as staking pools that securely allocate collateral. Each vault has unique terms and slashing mechanisms, customizable by the network or operator. Vaults offer operators flexibility, allowing them to set requirements for collateral and integrate resolver mechanisms to oversee slashing penalties.

Symbiotic offers two types of slashing: instant and veto-slashing. Instant slashing occurs immediately after an infraction, while veto-slashing involves a waiting period where designated entities can challenge or approve the slashing action. These mechanisms, alongside Symbiotic's focus on immutable core contracts, minimize risks for stakers and networks.

Operators in Symbiotic are validators or entities running infrastructure for networks. Curators oversee vaults, managing operator selection and crafting Advanced Validator Selection (AVS) frameworks to maximize both security and rewards for stakers.

Symbiotic’s architecture offers benefits like capital efficiency (supporting multi-asset restaking), modular control over restaking settings, and minimized risk due to immutable contracts. This setup allows DeFi protocols to secure their systems effectively while enabling flexible restaking configurations.

Inception offers restaking solutions powered by Symbiotic’s architecture, allowing users to engage in various decentralized, customizable restaking modules. Participants can select from curated vaults, tailor their exposure to certain assets or protocols, and benefit from streamlined reward opportunities across networks like Ethereum and potentially beyond.
