Eigenlayer offers a modular blockchain infrastructure for developers to create new protocols and services without securing their trust networks. It supports roll-ups, coprocessors, and other innovative concepts, enabling boundless design space and permissionless innovation. Eigenlayer's Attestation Voting Subnets (AVSs) and liquid restaking tokens introduce a new paradigm for modular blockchain architecture, promoting hyperspecialization and sharing of value across the modular stack. The protocol's communication and slashing mechanisms ensure security and coordination across AVSs. Eigenlayer's approach to pricing, unstaking, and restaking balances decentralization, risk assessment, and user benefits.
