Last week EigenLayer experienced a major upgrade. The Rewards protocol, the onchain system that enables AVSs to distribute rewards to their stakers and operators, went live on mainnet on August 6th. The Rewards protocol upgrade grants AVSs the ability to begin rewarding stakers and operators for their past, present, and| EigenLayer Blog
Solidity events are a crucial feature of Ethereum and EVM blockchains, with a vast number of use cases within the ecosystem. Primary use cases, for example, include but not limited to * Logging: where events provide a mechanism to log critical actions and state changes inside smart contract, for track contract| EigenLayer Blog
Summary * Actively Validated Services (AVSs) are gaining the ability to reward stakers and operators. * At least 4% of EIGEN's total supply will be distributed to stakers and operators via upcoming programmatic incentives. * These incentives will be distributed via "rewards-boosts" in which stakers and operators will receive EIGEN in proportion to| EigenLayer Blog
Occasionally, you hear an idea so exciting that you see the future with utter clarity. At Eigen Labs, we’re excited to work with exceptional builders and hear their special insights about the world on a daily basis. We want to share some of ours with you. We’re starting| EigenLayer Blog
We're proud to announce the launch of the MVP experience for Rewards on the Holesky testnet. This MVP allows AVSs to begin integrating with the rewards system, and test setting up incentives for restakers and node operators. It also allows restakers to test claiming functionality for (worthless) testnet tokens. Over| EigenLayer Blog
We're thrilled to announce the next chapter in our journey towards a secure and successful EigenLayer mainnet launch! Our primary focus remains a smooth launch that prioritizes both security and performance. To achieve this, we're introducing a multi-phased approach starting now and ongoing for the next several weeks. This process| EigenLayer Blog
Over the past few years, we at Eigen Labs have been developing a platform for advancing the concept of open, verifiable digital commons.

We built EigenDA to help rollups scale, and thus help Ethereum scale. Rollups need somewhere decentralized, scalable, and secure to post transaction data so they can scale their systems to the next billion users. To achieve this mission we intend to make it as easy as possible for the next| EigenLayer Blog
We’re thrilled to announce the launch of a new Goerli testnet experience for EigenLayer and EigenDA, representing Stage 2 of development towards the full EigenLayer vision. In June we launched Stage 1, introducing restaking on mainnet Ethereum. Through a series of security-focused TVL cap increases, 170,000 ETH has| EigenLayer Blog
One of the most powerful features of EigenLayer is the notion of dual staking. In this article, we will discuss what dual staking is, how it increases the robustness and decentralization of any PoS network, how it mitigates the death spiral problem with network token volatility, and how these networks| EigenLayer Blog
If you're interested in integrating your rollup with EigenDA, please fill out the EigenDA questionnaire!
