Architecture Overview

Byzantine Architecture

Byzantine Architecture involves several components/entities (from left to right) :

• The Restaker, seeking to restake his assets

• Byzantine interface, allowing Vault creation and interaction

• Partner's interface, mainly allowing interaction with selected Vaults

• The Byzantine Vault, the central piece of the architecture. Created by a Vault Creator, on top of multiple restaking protocols, it involves a strategy of Native or Non-Native restaking.

• The Curator (optional, can be the Vault creator themselves), in charge of rebalancing the Strategy.

• The Node Operators, who can operate both Staking (Validators), and/or Restaking (Operators). The way Validators are associated with a Vault depends on the type of vault (see the next section).

• The restaking protocols, which allow the permissionless creation and securing of decentralized services (EigenLayer, Symbiotic, Babylon, Karak, Jito, ...).
