Still remember back in May, I had a half-day discussion with @sreeramkannan @soubhik_deb on EigenCloud @eigenlayer and what it can enable for future apps, as well as what @alt_layer can build on rollup/AVS side.
Apparently, verifiability is the most crucial merit blockchains bring to life say @bitcoin @ethereum, but it's mostly for onchain compute. We don't have much infra to empower offchain computes with verifiability. EigenCloud is set to address this problem by combining cloud-scale programmability with crypto-grade verifiability. It tackles the core limitations of traditional smart contracts by moving complex app logic into verifiable off-chain containers, while retaining minimal consensus-enforced logic on-chain. This allows developers to build sophisticated applications that were previously infeasible due to blockchain’s computational constraints.
From AI agents with cryptoeconomic accountability to decentralized prediction markets and provably fair gaming platforms, EigenCloud leverages the power of EigenLayer’s shared security to provide tamper-proof execution at scale. Developers can now utilize any software library, provision specialized hardware, and interact with off-chain APIs—all while maintaining the cryptographic guarantees that make blockchain unique.
With key primitives like EigenDA for data availability, EigenVerify for dispute resolution, and EigenCompute for container orchestration, EigenCloud empowers developers to construct advanced crypto applications with off-chain computation, while ensuring security through economic staking and slashing. This is the foundation for a new class of verifiable, decentralized applications.

1/ 🧵🎮 My tech deep dive:🌍Autonomous Worlds(AW) .
As digital gaming landscape evolves, AW emerge as the vanguard of blockchain gaming. Imagine: decentralized virtual universes powered by blockchain, teeming with community ownership & on-chain gameplay.mirror.xyz/ohotties.eth/Y…
2/ 🕹️ What Exactly are AWs?: AWs are more than just games; they're entire ecosystems on the blockchain. These aren't realms controlled by a single entity but are collectively governed and molded by their user communities. 🛠️🌍
3/ 🔍 Key Features of AW:
On-Chain Logic: Game rules, states, and mechanics are via smart contracts.
NFT Assets: Owning unique in-game items.
Open Evolution: The game's core logic is open, allowing expansion.
Decentralized Power: Through DAOs, community actively shapes the game.
1/ The @BanklessHQ podcast recently hosted a deep dive into the topic of restaking, a complex and emerging area in @ethereum, with @TimBeiko @drakefjustin @VitalikButerin @dankrad @13yearoldvc . Here's a summary of the discussion.
2/ Restaking proposed by @sreeramkannan @eigenlayer involves staking assets in one protocol and then using those staked assets as collateral to stake in another protocol. This process can potentially increase the yield for users and create new opportunities for developers.
3/ Restaking also introduces new risks and challenges, particularly around the potential for systemic risk and the erosion of decentralization. The panelists agreed that restaking is a complex and potentially transformative development in the DeFi space.
1/ 🚀 Excited to release the launch of ETHGPT.org, a GPT-powered ChatBot for up-to-date @ethereum information! We've taken SolidityGPT to next level by integrating resources like go-ethereum & ethresear.ch, keeping you informed at github.com/jiayaoqijia/et….
3/ 🌐 Ethereum's growth over 8 years brought numerous updates & codebases, making it challenging for devs & users to stay current on news, like Shapella upgrade. ETHGPT.org, a precise Ethereum info ChatBot, bridges this gap using go-eth, ChatGPT, langchain & NextJS.
1/x Prior to #DevconVI, at #RollupDay, @VitalikButerin talked about “Hardening rollups with multi-proofs”. Here is a thread of brief summary.
2/x Nowadays, almost all #rollup protocols are still on “training wheels”, as proofs are either in development or can be easily overridden by simple governance.
3/x Even if we have proof systems ready say validity proof for zk-rollups, due to the complexity of the generated proofs, it’s quite tough to ensure there’s no bug in the proof. One example below, for a simple code snippet in #PSE zk-EVM impl, it has 34,469 lines of circuit code.
1) With the boom of dApps including games like @AxieInfinity and NFTs like @apecoin, more app-tailored scaling solutions are urgently needed. Existing L1s and L2s can provide high throughput to some extent,
2) but due to the limited resource pool say computation shared among tons of thousands of dApps, the popular dApps like Axie and Ape with an enormous user base can easily clog or stall these protocols, exemplified by recent NFT mint events happening on @solana and @0xPolygon.
3) At Alt Research, with our expertise in sharding, interoperability and rollups, we conduct research in alternative scaling solutions that will lay the foundation for future dApps in Web3.
