  1. Introduction

Explanation of terms

Stakers / restakers

Users looking to stake or restake their assets.

Staking operator

Refers to those who run Ethereum validators in staking or native restaking vaults.

Restaking operator

Refers to those who run AVS / network nodes in restaking vaults. They operate the different restaking networks and receive delegated stake from vaults.

Curators

Refers to those who select and adjust a vault's strategy and settings. This can be (but doesn't have to be) the vault owner.

Native/integrated restaking

Staking and restaking of ETH in a single vault. Can be known both as native or integrated restaking. This documentation applies the term "native restaking".

Native vaults

Byzantine Vaults exposed to both staking and restaking. The deposit token has to be the native token of the chain used (ETH on Ethereum).

ERC20 restaking

In contrast to native restaking, ERC20 restaking means restaking any ERC20 asset, such as LSTs or even USDC. The AVS / networks individually decide which ERC20s they accept as stake.

ERC20 vaults

Byzantine Vaults only exposed to restaking. The collateral asset / deposit token can be any ERC20 token.

AVSs / networks

The different proof-of-stake networks looking for economic security from restaking protocols.

Strategy

A combination of AVSs and protocols that a particular strategy vault is restaking into.
