EigenLayer

EigenLayer is a restaking protocol on Ethereum operated by Layr Labs that lets stakers re-use staked ETH (or liquid-staking tokens) to secure additional off-chain services called Actively Validated Services (AVSs). The team has since unified the restaking layer with EigenDA (data availability), EigenCompute (verifiable off-chain compute), and EigenAI (deterministic inference) under the EigenCloud brand. Developer surface includes the EigenLayer core smart contracts, AVS framework, EigenSDK in Go and TypeScript, EigenCloud CLI, and language SDKs for EigenCompute / EigenDA / EigenAI.

EigenLayer publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network: EigenDA. Tagged areas include Restaking, AVS, Ethereum, Data Availability, and Verifiable Compute.

The EigenLayer catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

EigenLayer’s developer surface includes documentation, GitHub presence, and 8 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/eigenlayer: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
