About Symbiotic
Symbiotic operates collateral-market infrastructure for onchain finance. Symbiotic Core coordinates how collateral is committed, allocated, and enforced through programmable vaults, delegators, and adapters. Capital providers can deposit assets into curated strategies, while financial applications access shared collateral for enforceable obligations. Its applications include Liquid Lane for RFQ-based, atomic liquidity and redemptions of tokenized assets, as well as infrastructure for credit guarantees and insurance underwriting.
