Types of Native Vaults

Byzantine architecture allows the Vault Creator to create 3 types of Native Restaking ByzVaults:

• Solo Staker Vaults

• Partner Validated Vaults

• Distributed Validator Vaults

Their main differences lie in the way that validator management is handled. In Native Restaking Vaults, validator management refers to the method used to choose/register the Staking Validators, who handle the staking of native assets in the blockchain.

Each native vaults have a validator manager which is responsible to make sure that enough validators are registered to a vault to support all new incoming stake. In other words, the validator manager simply register existing validator's deposit data to a vault so that all new incoming ETH is automatically deposited into the Beacon Chain.

Here is a summary table on how Staking and Restaking Nodes are chosen, depending on the type of native vault. Refer to the detailed pages for more information.
