Symbiotic is a DeFi infrastructure protocol focused on shared security and programmable collateral. It allows networks and decentralized applications to use crypto assets as economic security without having to build their own staking infrastructure from scratch.

The protocol connects capital providers, networks, and infrastructure operators through a flexible and modular system. Assets deposited into Symbiotic can be delegated and used to secure different protocols and decentralized networks, while conditions around rewards, risks, and slashing can be customized.

Beyond traditional restaking, Symbiotic is building a broader coordination and collateral layer that can support blockchain networks, interoperability systems, oracles, on-chain credit, insurance, and other decentralized financial applications.

In short, Symbiotic provides infrastructure that allows protocols to access economic security and collateral more efficiently, while enabling capital providers to put their assets to productive use across the ecosystem.
