What are these docs all about?

Welcome to the Byzantine Finance Developer Guide!

The goal of this guide is to help node operators and users understand the deep founding principles of the Byzantine protocol. It helps nodes operators effectively manage their clusters and their bids, and restaker devise the more valuable restaking strategy.

This documentation is more technical and concrete compared to the general overview available at Byzantine Docs.

In this documentation, you'll find details about:

• A technical overview of the different smart contracts used in the Byzantine Protocol

• A walk-through for the three different entities using the app:

  • Operators

  • Full Stakers

  • Liquid Stakers

For a broader and more theoretical overview of the Byzantine Protocol, please refer to the general documentation.

This guide is maintained by the Byzantine Finance team. If there are questions not answered by this guide, or if you need additional support, please join the Byzantine community on Discord.

This documentation refers to the Holesky testnet version of Byzantine, and is therefore subject to frequent changes.
