Introducing Symbiotic Relay
Symbiotic Relay, our network middleware SDK, enables any protocol to stake on Ethereum and verify outcomes on any supported chain. For the first time, stake from any ecosystem can verify protocol decisions anywhere, trustlessly and without permission.

Modeling Target Stake Requirements in Proof-of-Stake and Restaking-Based Networks
Abstract This research in collaboration with TokenSight explores how networks can estimate the amount of stake (or collateral) required to operate securely under Proof-of-Stake or restaking-based models. It introduces a framework for calculating “target stake” based on variables such as total value at risk, attack profitability, validator behavior, and slashing conditions. It also accounts for added complexities introduced by restaking, including collateral reuse and cross-network risk, and pro

What is Universal Staking?
Universal Staking is more than just restaking. Instead of merely reusing staked assets to secure multiple networks, it introduces a flexible coordination layer for sharing collateral across a wide range of use cases beyond Proof-of-Stake (PoS) implementations.

Universal Staking Vaults Powered by Symbiotic
The three core participants - Stakers, Networks, and Operators - are connected through a sophisticated infrastructure layer. At the heart of these connections are Vaults, which serve as the primary interface between all participants.

The Dawn of Universal Staking
Symbiotic has secured $29 million in Series A funding led by Pantera Capital, with participation from Coinbase Ventures and over 100 angel investors from leading teams including Aave, Polygon, and StarkWare. This milestone investment accelerates our vision beyond restaking toward Universal Staking - a comprehensive coordination layer that fundamentally transforms how blockchains implement security and economic alignment. From Restaking to Universal Staking The blockchain ecosystem has witness

Hyperlane Native Staking Powered by Symbiotic
As the modular stack matures, network design is no longer one-size-fits-all. Hyperlane, a permissionless interoperability framework for bridging, asset issuance, and general message passing, is leaning into this future with a novel security model, and it's being built on Symbiotic. Hyperlane’s Interchain Security Modules (ISMs) can now leverage staked capital to secure the validator set. Following this approach, Hyperlane has become the first fully operational interoperability protocol to utili

Demystifying Slashing
Slashing is ultimately a powerful deterrent that rarely needs to be invoked. This analysis examines real-world slashing data across Ethereum, Cosmos, and Polkadot, revealing how uncommon these events are and why this security feature works so effectively despite its infrequent use.

Network Highlight: Router Protocol
Router Protocol, a modular interoperability protocol enabling seamless communication between blockchains, is integrating with Symbiotic mainnet to solve one of the Cosmos ecosystem's core challenges - security constrained by native token market caps. By strengthening Router Chain's security model through their mesh security module, Router enhances the foundation of their cross-chain infrastructure while enabling Cosmos chains to access Ethereum's vast economic security.
