Ecosystem
There are 3 key components in the Symbiotic Ecosystem:
Stakers - Entities looking to earn rewards by providing their assets as a stake through vault deposits. They can be individual token holders, institutions, or liquid (re)staking protocols. Stakers deposit funds into specialized smart contracts (vaults) managed by curators who handle delegation decisions.
Networks - Systems that need economic security to operate safely. These can be Layer 1 blockchains, Layer 2 solutions, or other decentralized systems that require stake-based security guarantees.
Operators - Professional entities that maintain network infrastructure by running validators, nodes, or other required systems. They receive stake allocations to perform their duties and are responsible for network operations.
