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 5 more developer resources.
