EigenLayer (EIGEN) is a revolutionary protocol built on the Ethereum blockchain that introduces the concept of restaking. This innovative approach allows Ethereum stakers to reuse their staked ETH or Liquid Staking Tokens (LST) across various decentralized services within the EigenLayer ecosystem, enhancing cryptoeconomic security while providing additional rewards.
MoreEigenLayer enables stakers to extend the security of their staked assets to support multiple applications on the network. By opting into EigenLayer smart contracts, stakers can delegate their ETH to operators or run validation services themselves. This mutual opt-in mechanism fosters collaboration between stakers, operators, and services, ensuring a robust and secure environment for decentralized applications.

EigenLayer addresses the fragmentation of security in the decentralized ecosystem by allowing services on Ethereum to access the collective security provided by stakers. The EIGEN token is designed to facilitate security for various digital tasks that may not be objectively verifiable but are agreed upon by multiple observers. This universality allows for a broader range of tasks to be securely managed on the blockchain. EIGEN tokens can be used for staking intersubjective faults, performing validation tasks across various Actively Validated Services (AVS), and incentivizing operators based on their performance. By promoting permissionless innovation and free-market governance, EigenLayer fosters an environment where anyone can contribute to the security and development of decentralized services, ultimately enhancing the overall trust and security of the Ethereum ecosystem as a whole.
