Episode notes

Eigenlayer is designed to be modular so that different parts of the system can work together. It has four key features: censorship resistance, data availability, validate and V org resistant. Eigenlayer uses a service called EigenDA which is just a data availability service run by each stakers. This means it doesn't require all the notes to download all the data but you get security of the entire system.

In this week's episode of 0xResearch, Sreeram Kannan explains how EigenLayer enables permissionless and modular innovation across all blockchain layers. We explore EigenLayer's ETH value accrual mechanism, slashing mechanics and economic incentives, novel data availability solutions, re-staking risks and more. EigenLayer might be the most underrated project in Ethereum right now. Tune in to find out why!
