The Staking Guardians
The Staking Guardian is a new role introduced by the Staking Abstraction Layer (SAL) into the Bitcoin staking ecosystem, serving as a core component to ensure the transparency, integrity, and security of the staking process. Staking Validators take on multiple responsibilities in the staking flow, including asset custody, transaction verification, and transaction co-signing.
By separating the construction of staking transactions from their verification and signing, the Staking Guardian ensures that staking transactions initiated by roles like the LST Issuer are accurate and error-free, guaranteeing that user assets are staked according to their intent. When users unstake and redeem their assets, the Staking Guardian also verifies the transaction to ensure that assets are correctly returned to the designated address, preventing any asset loss.
