This integration enables institutions to confidently participate in staking and restaking flows by embedding compliance metadata directly at the protocol level, eliminating the need for off-chain processes, “walled gardens”, or manual verification.
Introducing Compliant Restaking Vaults
Byzantine will integrate CRYMBO Oracle into its protocol-level vaults, enabling KYC-gated staking and restaking experiences that meet FATF Travel Rule standards. Institutions can now access yield-generating opportunities with full regulatory assurance - without compromising on decentralization or flexibility.
Here’s how it works:
- When a user deposits into a KYC-enabled vault, compliance metadata is transmitted securely via the CRYMBO Oracle.
- This metadata becomes part of the staking action, allowing curators and AVSs to verify participants and meet global standards.
- Institutions retain full custody and control, while the vault handles compliance automatically and transparently.
This creates a frictionless experience for institutional restakers, opening access to high-yield, modular staking strategies with embedded, verifiable compliance.

A New Standard for Compliant Restaking
With CRYMBO Oracle, Byzantine becomes the first restaking platform to offer on-chain, scalable compliance infrastructure tailored for the next wave of institutional capital. This partnership removes the final barriers to entry for custodians, asset managers, and enterprise DeFi participants.
"This collaboration bridges the gap between institutional compliance and restaking innovation," said Gaia Ferrero Regis, CEO of Byzantine. "Together with CRYMBO, we’re building a future where regulation-ready DeFi doesn’t sacrifice permissionlessness or capital efficiency."
“Restaking is gaining momentum, but without native compliance rails, institutions are forced to sit on the sidelines,” said Eyal Daskal, CEO of CRYMBO. “Byzantine’s modular vaults, combined with CRYMBO Oracle, allow capital to move confidently and compliantly - on-chain, at scale, and without compromise.”
