What they do

Problem

Ethereum-based projects lack a standardized way to reuse existing security and validator trust to bootstrap new decentralized services.

Solution

EigenLayer provides a restaking protocol on Ethereum that lets stakers and validators opt in to secure additional applications and services using the same underlying stake.

Who it's for

Crypto developers and protocol teams building decentralized services on Ethereum, along with Ethereum stakers/validators who want to restake.
