Basic components

Byzantine is a decentralised protocol enabling the permissionless creation of individual cross-protocol restaking strategy vaults.

It separates the roles of investor (staker), risk manager (strategy manager), and infrastructure layer. Users can permissionlessly create strategy vaults based on their needs and can optionally open these up to other stakers.
