how do you explain what eigenlayer is to yourself?

I wrote this article last summer about that https://www.eigenhub.org/blog/blog-post-one-lgzdm its a new era in Eth. 1st Eth introduced smart contracts, then we got the modular/L2 era that we're leaving. Looking back we'll see EL as a whole new era. Like uniswap wasnt just a  swap protocol but heralded the dawn of defi.

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

EL won't just be a decentralized marketplace but bring in something totally new with more for us to participate in. Which is why I want to run a node, got to be part of this story.
