What is Eigenlayer?

Restaking enables staked ETH to serve as a source of cryptoeconomic security for a variety of protocols beyond the Ethereum network, yielding protocol fees and rewards in exchange. This method is relevant for both natively staked ETH and liquid staked tokens like stETH, rETH, cbETH, and LsETH. By launching new protocols that offer validation services, users can improve their current Ethereum validation systems significantly. This strategy not only optimizes the use of nodes but also guarantees maximum capital efficiency with minimal added expenses. EigenLayer provides developers the chance to leverage Ethereum's staked capital and a decentralized network of validators. Accessing this trust network can enable the creation of innovative mechanisms that were once considered impossible. Additionally, restakers have the capability to authenticate off-chain whether the inputs for bridges are correct, and if a substantial quorum concurs, the inputs will be accepted. Should a challenge arise, the input can be verified, and EigenLayer operators may experience slashing penalties in a more structured way. Consequently, this framework bolsters both security and trust in cross-protocol interactions, cultivating a more robust ecosystem while promoting greater collaboration among various networks. With these advancements, the potential for new applications and services within the blockchain space continues to expand.
