Audience
Web3 developers, Ethereum builders, and blockchain infrastructure teams seeking shared security, composability, and rapid deployment of decentralized services through Restaking and Ethereum-grade trust
About EigenLayer
EigenLayer is a protocol built on Ethereum that introduces Restaking, a groundbreaking concept allowing users to extend Ethereum’s cryptoeconomic security to new decentralized services. It acts as a “marketplace for trust,” connecting restakers, operators, and Autonomous Verifiable Services (AVSs) — the new generation of verifiable Web3 infrastructure. Developers can build services secured by Ethereum without needing to bootstrap their own validator network or token-based security model. Through EigenLayer, restakers can deposit ETH, liquid staking tokens (LSTs), EIGEN, or other ERC-20 tokens to secure emerging decentralized applications. This shared security model fosters rapid innovation while maintaining decentralization and reliability. Simply put, EigenLayer empowers builders to launch scalable, secure Web3 services faster, at lower cost, and with Ethereum-grade trust.
