eigenlayer

EigenLayer is a new concept that naturally raises many questions.

But after listening to Sreeram and Nima, it’s evident that they’ve dedicated a ton of time to designing the system in a secure and effective way.

Makes me optimistic. 

But curious about what you think about the answers.

Enjoyed listening to this. As an Eigenlayer solo staker, what is the best course of action when EigenDA eventually launches? Can I run the AVS myself at launch? Is this preferable to delegating?

That was a great pod! If you run a node through Eigen Pods then you can run the AVS. If you only you staked an LST then you will have to delegate. I wrote an article about Eigen DA https://www.eigenhub.org/avs-hub/6xwg31abwb7p0bzrfu8fulkyytpj81 check that out if you like. It talks about some advantages for restakers.

There are more in-depth articles on Eigen DA on Eigen's website too if you are looking for more of a deep dive. I am a node operator and have been running an Eigen DA node on their test net for months and will run for main net. More than happy to answer any questions if you have them!

Interesting, what are you seeing for increased bandwith, cpu, ram, storage? Obviously things will be different on mainnet, but are they actually filling that available DA on testnet? Hows your experience been so far?

Thank you! I'll look for the more in-depth content and perhaps spin up a testnet node. If there are any particular pieces you recommend then please do include links. I've not spent very long looking into it yet, but haven't found answers to my questions so far.
