Bankless Nation, I'm here with Sriram Kanan and JT Rose from Eigenlayer. JT, your first time on Bankless. Welcome. Thank
you for having me. And
then, Sriram, good to have you back. Thank
you so much, David. Always a pleasure.
Big day in the Eigen universe. Eigenlayer is announcing EigenCloud. Now there are a bunch of things that when you pop open the hood of EigenCloud, you'll see a bunch of different modules. And we're gonna talk about EigenDA, EigenVerify, Eigen Compute. I kinda wanna just, like, speed run through the history of Eigenlayer as it stands so far because I think when people first hear the words Eigenlayer, we think of restaking. That's the big primitive where you stake your ETH, you stake it again, and then there's this notion of shared security and AVSs, where AVSs are providing services using Eigen
Amazing. Thank you so much, David. Really excited to be here to talk through this. As as David mentioned, we're announcing this new package, EigenCloud, where we want to make the whole greater than the sum of the parts. Right? So the parts, people have seen, and, frankly, people are a little confused. Right? So Mhmm. We're we're building Eigenlayer, which is this staking layer. I think if you go ask anybody about Eigen to the extent people know it, they know it for staking, restaking. So that's what, you know, the single word that you'd hear. But we've also been doing other things, and people
anything? No.
That that all that all makes sense to me. Yeah. In the wild west of DeFi, stability and innovation are everything, which is why you should check out Frax Finance, the protocol revolutionizing stablecoins, DeFi, and roll ups. The core of Frax Finance is Frax USD, which is backed by BlackRock's institutional middle fund. Frax designed Frax USD for best in class yields across DeFi, t bills, and carry trade returns all in one. Just head to fracs.com, then stake it to earn some of the best yields in DeFi. Want even more? Bridge your Frax USD over to the Fraxel layer two for the same yield plus Frax
That's absolutely right. In fact, it's funny, like, you know, if you look at some of our earliest papers on, like, what is Eigenlayer, like, you know, this is even before we knew about restaking. You know, the ideas you would see are like a cloud. And, like, hey. You know, here's a cloud. It connects to Ethereum. It connects to it it then lets many people build applications on top. You know, some of the early visuals, are identical to, like, what we're trying to build. So this has always been in our mind that this is the orienting direction, the North Star. But it needed all these perimeters a
