EigenLayer Reviews

EigenLayer is a blockchain infrastructure startup that enables the restaking of ETH across various decentralized applications. They also provide developers with access to the Ethereum staked capital base and decentralized validator set. Traditionally, staking requires validators to lock up ETH as a security deposit to engage in the network's consensus mechanism, earning rewards for contributing to network security and validating transactions. However, once ETH is staked, it is generally immobilized until withdrawn, restricting validators from utilizing these assets elsewhere. EigenLayer aims to tackle this challenge by allowing staked ETH to be restaked across diverse decentralized applications and services without removing it from the original consensus mechanism.
