Announcing the EigenLayer Whitepaper v1.0

EigenLayer Protocol
1

We’re proud to release the first public version of the EigenLayer whitepaper, which you can find here: eigenlayer.xyz/whitepaper.pdf

This whitepaper contains the key ideas that the core developers are implementing into the first version of the EigenLayer protocol, which will launch later this year.

At 9am PT (5pm UTC) on Wednesday, February 22, we will be hosting a Twitter Spaces AMA focused on this whitepaper, and everyone is invited: EigenLayer Whitepaper Community Call & AMA

Tweet your questions in advance so we can discuss them together!

In conjunction, we’re excited to launch the EigenLayer Discussion Forum. This forum is intended to host conversations around three main topics:

  • EigenLayer protocol development: Discuss the core restaking protocol, including the restaker user experience, implementation of slashing conditions, and how to participate as an operator.

  • EigenDA (data availability) development: Discover rollups building with EigenDA, or learn how to integrate EigenDA in your own rollup or other project.

  • New middleware R&D: Research and ideas for new middleware to be built on the EigenLayer protocol, including MEV, rollup sequencing, bridging, oracle, and other solutions. All ideas and contributions are welcome.

TL;DR – read the whitepaper, join our Twitter Spaces AMA on 2/22 @ 5pm UTC, and contribute any and all ideas you may have in this discussion forum!

Finally, we’d be remiss not to thank the countless folks with whom we’ve engaged intellectually, either directly or indirectly, and whose ideas, small and large, have made their way into the EigenLayer whitepaper and protocol specification. All innovation depends on prior innovation; we’re grateful to everyone who has helped us get where we are, and look forward to going much further together :ringer_planet::sparkles:

Hi all
Will there be any testnet of the eigenlayer solution to try it out as early user ? What will be hardware requirements to run a validator?
Thanks

Congratulations!

The degree of versatility with which the protocol aims to offer, with staking token models, different slashing distinctions, delegations, services and business models for restakers is incredible.

Looking forward to the Twitter spaces tomorrow!
