Has anyone been reading up on EigenLayer? I want to be optimistic but it feels like a mistake given the current state of crypto with regulators. Any thoughts? https://mosaicnetwork.co/question/1687171119664x928665224380998900

I still don’t understand the problem they’re solving

From what I can tell, the use case that makes sense to me is to bootstrap your own POS network. A single Ethereum validator can validate transactions on multiple blockchains and use they ETH they staked as collateral for all of them. If they are validating Ethereum and XYZ, both would be able to slash the 32 ETH

And likewise, they would get double the rewards without needing to stake additional tokens on the new blockchain. They stake 32 ETH on EigenLayer, opt in to also use that stake as collateral on any other chain, and get the rewards from all of them. It would add up, but the risk grows exponentially

Why do I want my own network? Lower transaction costs?
