Symbiotic is a shared security and restakingprotocol providing a flexible infrastructure layer for decentralized networksto bootstrap their security through shared validator capital. Unlike EigenLayerwhich focuses primarily on Ethereum restaking, Symbiotic offers a moregeneral-purpose restaking framework supporting multiple asset types ascollateral beyond just ETH. Networks and protocols register on Symbiotic to tapinto pooled capital from restakers, enhancing their security without needing tobuild independent validator sets. The protocol features configurable vaultsallowing operators to set custom parameters for slashing conditions and rewarddistribution across different services. Symbiotic's modular design supports awide range of use cases from oracle networks to cross-chain bridges requiringverifiable security guarantees.
