EigenLayer is now the 5th largest DeFi protocol by TVL, even above Uniswap - guess the people really love restaking 

Wonder where we'll get to by the time regular deposits close at noon 🤔

views are my own, protocol @ eigen labs; prev working on decentralization @ gitcoin, llama, stanford medicine.

True, I guess the better term is platform (or just "protocol") 

I get that EigenLayer is fundamentally something different, but I feel like comparing its TVL with DeFi TVLs (and maybe L1/L2 TVLs) is still helpful 

Good FAQ regardless

it is not a defi protocol ser
