EigenLayer is a technical protocol created on Ethereum, which introduces the Restaking function. As of June 5, 2024, more than 5.309 million ETH have been re-pledged on the EigenLayer protocol.
Users who hold ETH and users who hold certain types of liquid assets (LST) related to ETH can re-pledge assets on EigenLayer.
By re-pledge of assets through EigenLayer, users can once again receive asset rewards, and developers can use Ethereum's existing validator set and pledged ETH to start new Actively Validated Services (Actively Validated Services, common AVS for short) - This means that when developers want to build a new protocol on Ethereum, they no longer need to build security facilities and start a PoS network from scratch, which can effectively reduce the complexity of development.
EigenLayer founder Sreeram Kannan once said: "EigenLayer is a verifiable cloud in the encryption field." - The technical core of this protocol that opens "cloud security verification" for the Web3 ecosystem is what was mentioned above「Active Verification Service (AVS)」.
Active Verification Service (AVS) refers to any system that requires its own distributed verification semantics for verification, such as side chains, data availability layers, virtual machines, Web3 Keeper networks, bridges, threshold encryption schemes, Letter execution environment, etc. Each Active Validation Service (AVS) has a set of smart contracts.

Understand EigenLayer’s active verification service projectOn April 9, 2024, EigenLayer launched the operator and Active Verification Service (AVS) module on the main network. As of June 5, 2024, EigenLayer’s official website announced 13 active verification service projects and 8 A new type of active verification service project based on Rollup, they are:EigenDA
EigenDA has landed on the main network in the second quarter of 2024 and was developed by EigenLabs.
