Symbiotic
Symbiotic, founded in 2024 by Misha Putiatin and Algys Ievlev in the Cayman Islands with a distributed team now based in Dubai, develops a restaking and shared security protocol for Ethereum. Its core infrastructure lets stakers delegate collateral to secure modular networks, oracles and rollups via collateral-backed slashing, complementing existing restaking designs with flexible asset support and operator networks. Headquartered in the Cayman Islands with a distributed research team across Dubai and Europe, Symbiotic emphasizes permissionless integration, risk isolation between networks and capital efficiency for node operators. Still early in mainnet rollout, it provides SDKs and middleware for teams building Actively Validated Services. Backed by Paradigm and cyber.Fund, it focuses on credibly neutral security marketplaces. Expect a research-heavy culture that values mechanism design, security analysis and collaborative building across the restaking ecosystem.
