Episode notes

Eigenlayer is an open-source software that can be used to build new layers on top of the Ethereum network. The company has just released a white paper detailing its plans for Eigenlayer and how it could revolutionize the way we interact with decentralized systems such as tokens, VMs or L2s. Shiraaz Khan: Can you give us some examples of what this all looks like if Eigenlayer was live from the get-go? She says there are still many bottlenecks which rollups have to inherit fromthereum. But by building better data availability protocols in modular ways, they can actually increase bandwidth massively.

Sreeram Kannan, Founder of EigenLayer, joins this episode to talk about the innovative power that EigenLayer is bringing to Ethereum.

In this episode we discuss EigenLayer’s data availability layer for ETH L2s to roll down to, which saves costs and solves congestion issues and EigenLayer’s re-staking layer which allows ETH stakers to opt in to support new use cases, earning more yield while accepting more slashing conditions, instead of apps having to roll their own security.

Sreeram is extremely smart (his academic papers ⁠here⁠), I learned a ton during this episode and I hope you do as well. Please share your thoughts and favorite parts of the episode with us on Twitter.
