Fhenix and EigenLayer Join Forces to Pioneer FHE Coprocessors, Revolutionizing Onchain Confidentiality on Ethereum We are excited that FHE Coprocessor will be building on EigenLayer and to announce the development of FHE-based coprocessors in collaboration with Fhenix. FHE coprocessors are secured by Fhenix’s optimistic FHE rollup infrastructure and EigenLayer’

Blockchains are entering an era of convergence, characterized by the dissolution of boundaries between different network architectures. Cosmos started as a network of appchains, with each chain independently establishing its validator set and trust protocol using native tokens. Ethereum, on the other hand, chose a shared security approach where every

Summary The worlds of artificial intelligence and onchain protocols are increasingly intersecting as permissionless protocols look to unlock new customer behavior around ownership and markets by utilizing AI models. We’ve witnessed how in offchain settings, AI models could dramatically improve on the status quo of problem solving across various

One of the open challenges in the blockchain industry is achieving trustless confidentiality. The inherent transparent nature of public blockchains prevents the development of applications requiring on-chain confidentiality across gaming, decentralized finance (DeFi), governance, and identity without relying on a trusted third party. Current approaches to providing privacy on the

By connecting Ethereum and Cosmos, EigenLayer will bring in a new wave of innovations.

One of the most powerful features of EigenLayer is the notion of dual staking. In this article, we will discuss what dual staking is, how it increases the robustness and decentralization of any PoS network, how it mitigates the death spiral problem with network token volatility, and how these networks

In this blog post, we will take you through the evolution of the protocol, by covering how EigenLayer's architecture emerged from the initial concept.

Update: The EigenLayer Research Fellowship (ERF) structure has been updated on October 25th, 2023, particularly in selection criteria and program dates. We believe EigenLayer is about to kickstart a new era of secure innovative infrastructure applications that will transform how blockchain applications operate. We’ve been diving deep into these

EigenLayer empowers builders to develop innovative distributed systems without worrying about how to build the underlying trust networks for these systems. We call these distributed systems AVSs - actively validated services. We have categorized AVSs into 5 types: 1. Rollup Services: augmenting the Ethereum rollup ecosystem with services that inherit

Thanks to Alex Obadia, Austin Griffith, Dan Elitzer, David Phelps, Jon Charbonneau, Soham Zemse, and Waylon Jepsen from the community for reviewing and giving feedback.  Today, if any developer wants to build a smart contract protocol such as a DEX, a lending protocol, etc., on Ethereum, they can inherit security

MEV-Boost protects Ethereum’s validator set from Maximum Extractable Value’s (MEV) centralization pressures. It is an open-source project designed by the Flashbots team. MEV-Boost’s relays simplify the interaction between builders and proposers in this system, streamlining the system and eliminating the need for complex cryptography. There are however
