Eigen Labs is more than just a leading name in the blockchain space. We’re the driving force behind EigenLayer, a game-changing solution that revolutionizes crypto-economic security. Imagine a world where blockchain projects break free from the shackles of the scaling trilemma and capital limitations. In today's blockchain ecosystem, each service is typically secured by its own tokenized trust-network. With EigenLayer, services can build upon the established security of the Ethereum trust network, unlocking untold scalability while maintaining security and decentralization.
Our AVS team is scaling up as we seek out innovative thinkers and engineers to join us on our mission to hyperscale Ethereum. Actively Validated Services (AVS) are decentralized apps built on EigenLayer. Staking Providers on the EigenLayer network can choose to opt in or out of running services for AVSs, in return for restaked rewards.
