Symbiotic Launches External Rewards Feature for Token-Based Incentives

Symbiotic has launched a new feature called External Rewards, allowing networks to offer token-based incentives to stakers and node operators. This feature aims to enhance shared security across modular blockchain ecosystems.

Key points include:

  • External Rewards enables protocols to distribute native tokens or points via the Symbiotic platform.
  • This adds incentives alongside Symbiotic Points, aiding networks in bootstrapping security and attracting capital.
  • All rewards are accessible through a single interface for stakers and contributors.
  • Protocols such as Hyperlane are already utilizing External Rewards to incentivize stakers with $HYPER tokens.
  • Symbiotic's framework supports various staking models, aiming to unify rewards and security incentives.

Misha Putiatin, co-founder of Symbiotic, stated that this launch is a significant advancement for shared security within the ecosystem.
