Today, EigenDA has over 230 operators and over 120,000 stakers delegating over 3.4M ETH to secure the network. Not only does this introduce the first alt-DA solution running in production secured by restaked ETH, it also engages many pieces of the EigenLayer ecosystem.
Onboarding Rollups to Dual Quorum
One of the business models described in the EigenLayer whitepaper is the dual staking utility which can feature two quorums: ETH restakers and $AVS stakers.
We are happy to announce that the dual quorum model we previously announced on Holesky testnet is now available on EigenDA mainnet. Initially, EigenDA dual quorum launches with ETH as the first quorum and EIGEN as the second quorum.
This means that EIGEN holders will be able to stake to EigenDA operators, and those operators can opt in to EigenDA’s dual quorum, adding more security to the network. Following stakedrop claims on May 10, EigenDA currently has over 44M EIGEN staked and delegated.
We are working hard to extend this multiple quorum model to enable EigenDA rollups to stake their own custom tokens to secure blobs. More to come on this soon.
Each quorum backing a given EigenDA blob lends additional security, since the blob will remain available as long as there is a single quorum which has not been corrupted.
Individual quorums can also provide additional security properties given the characteristics of the token being staked. EigenDA is currently building on a roadmap which will maximize the security provisioned by both the ETH and Eigen Quorums.
As slashing comes to the core EigenLayer protocol, EigenDA will work to enable ETH slashing via Proof of Custody:
The EIGEN whitepaper () introduces the idea of intersubjective slashing, which becomes a possibility with an EIGEN quorum securing EigenDA. Dual quorum launch prepares the way for entering the intersubjective setup phase ().github.com/Layr-Labs/whit… blog.eigenlayer.xyz/eigen/
This is a step towards our ambitious roadmap of providing the best data availability layer deeply integrated with tooling to enable open innovation.
Attention EigenLayer stakers! Get ready for EIGEN: the claims window opens tomorrow.
Once you have claimed your EIGEN, you may stake it and delegate to an EigenDA operator. At launch, EigenDA will be the only AVS that uses an EIGEN quorum. We expect other AVSs to follow soon.
If you have restaked ETH and have already delegated the restaked ETH to an EigenDA operator, you're done AFTER staking EIGEN on the webapp: your EIGEN is automatically delegated to the same operator.
If you have not delegated to an operator ever, after staking EIGEN, go to the EigenDA AVS page and choose an operator to delegate to.
What is EigenDA? What are its benefits, and why was it created?
Join @teddyknox, @sreeramkannan, @mikeneuder and @TrustlessState on the @BanklessHQ podcast for an in-depth exploration of these questions.
Here's a summary of the key points discussed! 🧵
"EigenDA emerged from both necessity and opportunity at EigenLabs. It was essential to showcase EigenLayer's capabilities to the world and attract developers.
Moreover, we recognized the chance to develop an improved Data Availability (DA) layer from the ground up."
"Our academic background has deeply involved us in data availability research. Understanding its scalability better than other elements, it was clear EigenDA was the ideal solution to demonstrate EigenLayer's potential."
