Why Restake with Tangle?
What makes Tangle different from Eigenlayer or Symbiotic? In my opinion there isn’t really that much variation in a restaking network/experience. As a restaker you’re interested in a few things.
Either you are
- Looking to maximize yield (financial)
- Looking to support innovation (ideological)
- Looking to secure your own product (selfish.. I’m exaggerating)
The key differentiator of a restaking network comes from its service offering. This is where Tangle differentiates itself the most from the rest of the pack. While we are not as big, we take a different technical approach to services, building towards a AWS-like experience for both developers, operators, and customers rather than a lightweight wrapper over different service experiences that you might find elsewhere.
Tangle Blueprints are infrastructure as a service templates. Whatever developers build as Tangle Blueprints live as reusable innovations on Tangle. Our offering is geared primarily with monetizing open source software, streamlining the ability for developers to earn from their creations. This model also aligns specifically with the fact that most crypto projects and infrastructures are useful for many projects simultaneously.
To make things clearer, Tangle is like a rollup-as-a-service developer platform, but instead, replaces rollups with any infrastructure that developers can build. To be trite, Tangle can be described as a service-as-a-service platform, and we use the term Blueprint to define this concept; a Blueprint is a reusable template for a useful and monetizable infrastructure.
So why restake on Tangle? Well, we’re innovating around a new software concept. One that is reusable, monetizable, and benefits from composability and network effects. To restake on Tangle is to take part in this new endeavor of creating software that is open-source and aims to create an efficient market around pricing innovation.
On Tangle you can restake any asset. You can even earn our cryptocurrency by restaking certain assets without doing anything extra, quite nice right? This is one method for bootstrapping the cold start problem. Developers are attracted by the prospect of security and restakers are attracted by the prospect of yield and innovation.
