Symbiotic Networks: Powered by Luganodes

Introduction

Symbiotic positions itself as a marketplace for economic security, and with its mainnet now live, the marketplace is officially open for business. Symbiotic Restaking is a novel approach to restaking, which we discussed in this article. Stakers can allocate their funds to specific vaults, while Networks can tailor their security models by selecting from a versatile range of these vaults. Infrastructure providers like Luganodes support this ecosystem by handling the technical infrastructure and performing network duties for these vaults.

Through these vaults, stakers can power a diverse array of networks, each bringing unique innovations to the space. In this article, we’ll take a quick look at the networks supported by Luganodes—and yes, this list is constantly growing as Symbiotic continues to expand!

Kalypso by Marlin

Kalypso is a marketplace for outsourcing zero-knowledge (ZK) proof generation, making it faster and cheaper for developers to build ZK-based apps.

Kalypso is a decentralized marketplace for zero-knowledge (ZK) proof generation, designed to address the high costs and computational demands of ZK cryptography. Developers building ZK-based applications—such as rollups, bridges, or gaming engines—can delegate proof generation to specialized hardware operators via Kalypso. This creates a competitive market where hardware providers innovate to reduce costs and improve proof generation speeds. Kalypso is circuit-agnostic, meaning any ZK application can use it, and it operates through an orderbook-based exchange managed by Oyster TEE nodes for low-latency matching and privacy. By decentralizing proof generation, Kalypso ensures censorship resistance, faster user experiences, and better resource utilization for hardware providers.

Cycle Network

Cycle Network simplifies cross-chain development by enabling apps to interact seamlessly across multiple blockchains.

Cycle Network tackles the limitations of fragmented blockchain ecosystems by offering chain abstraction technology. This allows developers to build applications that seamlessly interact with all Web3 users and data across multiple chains. Cycle achieves this through verifiable state aggregation, combining an Omni State Channel Indexer (OSCI) with a decentralized sequencer to enable trustless cross-chain state proofs. By leveraging ZK-Rollups and inheriting security from existing rollups, Cycle Network supports global state proofs across Layer 1, Layer 2, and application chains. Its goal is to simplify cross-chain development and enhance scalability while maintaining security and decentralization.

HyveDA

HyveDA is a decentralized data availability layer that ensures high-speed, secure data access for apps like AI and rollups.

HyveDA is a permissionless data availability (DA) layer built on Ethereum, designed to meet the high-throughput needs of applications like DePIN, AI, and rollups. Unlike traditional DA solutions that rely on centralized committees, HyveDA uses a decentralized, permissionless model where anyone can participate by staking through Symbiotic. This ensures censorship resistance and horizontal scalability. HyveDA eliminates the need for consensus, allowing nodes to operate independently and scale efficiently. By leveraging delegated staking and slashing mechanisms, HyveDA ensures secure and reliable data availability for high-demand applications.

Ditto Network

Ditto Network automates Web3 workflows across multiple chains, making smart contract execution seamless and secure.

Ditto Network leverages Symbiotic’s shared security to provide Web3 automation services. It enables developers to create event-driven workflows and automate smart contracts across multiple chains. By integrating with Symbiotic, Ditto ensures capital efficiency, cross-chain flexibility, and enhanced security for its automation tools. Symbiotic’s collateral abstraction allows Ditto to use a variety of assets (e.g., ERC-20 tokens, LSTs) as collateral, while its slashing mechanisms ensure operator reliability. Together, Ditto and Symbiotic offer a robust infrastructure for scalable, secure, and efficient Web3 automation.

Primev

Primev improves Ethereum’s MEV pipeline by enabling real-time coordination between searchers, builders, and proposers.

Primev focuses on improving the efficiency of the MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) pipeline through its MEV-commit solution. MEV-commit is a peer-to-peer network that facilitates real-time coordination between MEV actors like searchers, block builders, and proposers. It enables bidders to place execution requests (bids) and receive cryptographic commitments from providers, ensuring reliable and efficient transaction execution. By streamlining communication and commitments, MEV-commit reduces inefficiencies in the MEV pipeline, benefiting all stakeholders—from searchers to end-users. Its actor-agnostic design aligns with Ethereum’s ethos and enhances the overall MEV ecosystem.

Hyperlane

Hyperlane makes cross-chain communication easy, allowing apps to connect and interact across any blockchain.

Hyperlane is a permissionless interoperability protocol that enables seamless cross-chain communication and asset transfers. Unlike traditional bridges or intermediaries, Hyperlane allows developers to deploy cross-chain messaging on any blockchain—be it Layer 1, rollup, or app-chain—without requiring approvals. Its modular architecture, powered by Interchain Security Modules (ISMs), lets developers customize security models to suit their application’s needs. Hyperlane is already being used by notable projects like Eclipse, Karak, and Injective. By simplifying cross-chain interactions, Hyperlane empowers developers to build scalable, multi-chain applications with ease.

Bolt

Bolt improves Ethereum’s user experience by enabling instant transaction confirmations through proposer commitments.

Bolt is a protocol designed to enhance Ethereum’s user experience and censorship resistance by enabling credible commitments from block proposers. Through sub-second pre-confirmations, users can receive instant transaction confirmations, revolutionizing Ethereum’s UX. Bolt operates out-of-protocol, leveraging restaking for economic assurances, and is compatible with Ethereum’s existing block production pipeline. Its Commitments API and Constraints API allow users to request and verify commitments from proposers, ensuring trustless and permissionless interactions. Bolt’s simplicity and compatibility make it a powerful tool for improving block space value and validator yields.

Radius

Radius helps rollups capture MEV revenue while protecting users from harmful practices like frontrunning.

Radius focuses on MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) infrastructure for rollups, enabling them to capture revenue while protecting users from harmful MEV practices. Its Lighthouse network connects rollups with searchers to identify and execute MEV opportunities like arbitrage and liquidations, creating a sustainable revenue stream. Additionally, Radius’ Secure Block Building (SBB) technology uses cryptographic techniques to encrypt transactions and prevent frontrunning, ensuring user protection. With features like cross-rollup MEV and based sequencing, Radius maximizes rollup revenue while maintaining security and efficiency.

Symbiosis

Symbiosis is a one-click cross-chain exchange that lets users trade and transfer assets across any blockchain.

Symbiosis is a decentralized cross-chain exchange that enables seamless trading and asset transfers across EVM and non-EVM blockchains. By pooling liquidity from multiple chains, Symbiosis allows users to trade any token pair in a single click, with competitive rates and low fees. The protocol operates without a central authority, ensuring decentralization, non-custodial security, and interoperability. Its Relayers Network facilitates fast and secure cross-chain communication, while services like cross-chain swaps, zaps, and farming provide users with a comprehensive DeFi experience. Symbiosis also introduces veSIS, a governance token that lets users stake, earn rewards, and participate in protocol decisions.

CapX

CapX Cloud provides decentralized infrastructure for AI apps, ensuring scalability, security, and cost-efficiency.

CapX Cloud is a decentralized infrastructure network designed to support the deployment and scaling of tokenized AI applications.
