# Symbiotic Protocol Unveiled on Ethereum Mainnet
The open restaking platform, Symbiotic, has formally introduced its protocol on the Ethereum mainnet.
The platform revealed this achievement on Tuesday, January 28th, through a blog entry.
By going live on the Ethereum (ETH) mainnet, Symbiotic becomes the initial restaking protocol to “debut with a fully operational shared security protocol and slashing mechanism.”
The protocol’s mainnet debut follows almost two years of thorough investigation and security verification, encompassing five independent audits. Furthermore, Symbiotic organized a code competition, and its deployment on Ethereum introduces the advantages of open shared security to the ecosystem.
As stated in the blog post, multiple crypto integrations are utilizing this innovation, from zero-knowledge proof marketplaces to AI systems, cross-chain messaging protocols, and data availability solutions. These protocols employ Symbiotic to fulfill diverse security needs while preserving protocol autonomy.
Certain projects leveraging this architecture encompass Capx, an Ethereum Layer 2 for AI agents, and HyveDA, a decentralized data availability platform.
Additional integrations include the interoperability toolkit Hyperlane, Marlin’s circuit-agnostic ZK proof marketplace Kalypso, the cross-chain liquidity protocol Symbiosis, and the L1 chain Router. In total, nearly 50 networks, 78 operators, and 55 vaults are integrated with Symbiotic.
Symbiotic launched its devnet in August 2024, merely months following the platform’s stealth launch. Initially, the team projected deploying the mainnet in Q3 2024.
The platform secured $5.8 million in seed funding in June, supported by Paradigm and other crypto venture capital firms such as cyber.Fund.
