I've helped launch or run many of today's top blockchains over the last 6 years. Today I'm proud to share a post outlining the different blockchain launch eras and what protocol teams need to do to have a successful protocol launch in 2025. viktorbunin.medium.com/how-to-launch-…

1/ Congratulations to the @EigenLayer team on launching the EIGEN token! This is a *wildly* different design from anything we’ve seen to date so I’d like to share simple explanations of the most important concepts in EIGEN to help everyone grok it. Let’s dive in 👇
2/ Work Token Models

A work token model is one in which a user running a node agrees to provide certain services to the network that can then be consumed by other users. Examples of work token models include The Graph network’s nodes providing data to developers or Livepeer providing video transcoding to video distributors (e.g., YouTube). Work tokens are used not only as entry conditions for performing digital work but also for punishing non-compliant workers through a cryptoeconomic mechanism called slashing (i.e., when digital workers break the covenants inherent in the platform, they risk losing their work tokens).

Existing work tokens have at least one of two limitations: (a) they are special-purpose: created specifically for a particular enshrined digital task (e.g., the ETH token is used for validating Ethereum blocks), and/or (b) they are objective: enforceable only when the violations of the digital worker are clearly attributable onchain (via a programmatic proof).
3/ ETH as the Universal Objective Work Token

EigenLayer removes the “special-purpose” limitation from ETH. Restaking expands the scope of ETH to become a ”universal” objective work token so that it can be staked to participate in all kinds of tasks, including new consensus mechanisms, optimistic rollups, bridges and MEV management solutions, which third parties can permissionlessly create and innovate upon.

However, the “objective” limitation of work tokens remains, as punitive slashing can only be applied to objectively verifiable tasks on Ethereum, such as double signing.

1. Kingmaker feature for blockchain building frameworks
2. Blockchain building framework like Substrate, Cosmos SDK, OP stack, etc. make it ~relatively easy (in the scheme of things) for a dapp developer to also have their own dedicated blockchain without building a blockchain from scratch.
3. The problem is that as these dappchains proliferate, each one is relatively small, and has to do all their own integrations. Wallets are easier, custodians and exchanges are harder, enterprises and institutions are ~impossible.

1. Fixed vs variable costs for dapps and blockchains
2. A good way of reframing the decision every dapp must make as to whether to deploy on a general purpose chain or to have their own dappchain, is to decide whether they want their operating costs to be fixed or variable.
3. General purpose chains have variable costs due to gas markets. You as a dapp don't have to pay anything to exist, but your users may be impacted if the blockchain you're on has a lot of usage.
