The first EigenLayer initiative implemented on one of the biggest keys in the cryptocurrency world is called Available Validator Service (AVS) and is known as EigenDA. It is a huge implication for Ethereum as a project in development. EigenDA does not limit itself to the role of a validator service. It is a new mechanism that has improved the operation of the Ethereum validation systems as a whole.
The impact of EigenDA
At the end of the line, EigenDA has already prompted over 4.1 million ETH staked on EigenLayer which is the community’s indictment of trust and the likelihood of the value of the offered service. To an extent that will astound you, 70% of the newly recognized Ethereum validators have chosen to restake at EigenLayer by giving their assets to the AVS. Being capable of staking is taking advantage of interacting with other protocols with one’s staking position on Ethereum intact. Such adaptability is of extreme value for backing the main Ethereum chain as well as smaller blockchains running on it that need the highly reliable security layer of Ethereum.
Thus, EigenDA works as a middle layer, attaching itself to Ethereum miners, their tokens, and stakes to back up the next-gen blockchains as they emerge. In doing so, trust and security are increased, and different blockchains are interconnected in a resilient network. This ensures network stability and continuity across the board. This practice additionally covers core elements such as neutrality and decentralization in order to allow anyone to become a staking provider.
Technological advances and needs of the near future
As well as essential validation services, EigenDA is intended for providing extended scalability, as well as cost-efficiency and ease of integration for various rollup and blockchain applications, and operators. The Relayers or the Rollups, as they are widely popular, are now able to attach to the main EigenDA net effortlessly, thereby increasing the transactions’ potential. A year down the line, this integration will have stabilized, giving way to a more robust cycle of operators and delegators to provide added-value solutions of data storage on Ethereum.
EigenDA and likewise AVS would be developed not only for technical improvement reasons but also to reconfirm Ethereum as a trustworthy and multi-purpose blockchain system. Ethereum’s staking functionality, deploying approximately a quarter of the entire network circulating supply (32.2 million ETH) in the staking pool, is making a way for EigenDA to wield key influence on the network in a time to come. At the moment, the total value of staked ETH stands higher than $112 billion – the coin that supports more than one million validators, such fact makes the Ethereum blockchain probably one of the most secure in the whole cryptocurrency industry.
With the advent of crypto and blockchain landscapes turning out to be dynamic, the involvement of creative solutions such as EigenDA will be highly relevant in shaping the destiny of decentralized networks. Lido is today the undisputed Ethereum liquid staking leader with its inventory worth $33.2 billion, or 29% of the total staked amount – such is a vibrant and competitive landscape that EigenLayer will be entering. That is not only infrastructure improvement but also stimulates the validator services development within the blockchain industry.
