gEigen! We're back with another round of updates and news - right here on Twitter, so you can stay informed without missing a scroll! 1. Ok starting with our favourite, @eigenlayer slashing mainnet went live yesterday 2. @earnos_io reached 2.1 Million sign-ups! 3.
Infura's DIN Launches on EigenLayer with Staking-Based Reliability
Infura's Decentralized Infrastructure Network (DIN) introduces a new paradigm for web3 infrastructure reliability using EigenLayer. Key features: - Providers stake ETH against uptime commitments - Economic penalties for service failures - Watcher system for monitoring performance - 9 infrastructure providers in testnet The system creates accountability through: - Staked Service Level Agreements - Performance monitoring - Verifiable slashing mechanisms - Fair appeals process DIN aims to bring blockchain-level trust guarantees to RPC nodes, making web3 infrastructure truly trustless.

EigenLayer Launches Slashing on Mainnet, Completing Core Protocol Vision
EigenLayer has activated its slashing mechanism on mainnet, marking the completion of its core protocol launch. This feature enables real enforcement of operator commitments through programmable trust mechanisms. Key updates: - Operators can opt into running AVSs under defined rules - New tools include Unique Stake Allocation and Operator Sets - 270+ AVSs building on the platform - 80,000+ active stakers - Major platforms like LayerZero and Infura already implementing The system rewards compliant behavior and penalizes failures through transparent, opt-in mechanisms. This launch represents the final piece in EigenLayer's vision for verifiable decentralized infrastructure. [Learn more about slashing](https://www.blog.eigenlayer.xyz/slashing-goes-live/)
EigenLayer Restaking Expands to Major Exchanges
EigenLayer's restaking functionality continues its expansion across major cryptocurrency platforms. **Binance** now offers direct WBETH restaking, allowing users to earn rewards without leaving the exchange platform. This follows Crypto.com's integration of EigenLayer native restaking in their app earlier this year, which includes: - Earning Eigen Points - Continued yield on staked ETH - Flexible unstaking options These integrations represent significant steps in making ETH restaking more accessible to mainstream users through familiar platforms. *For more details on Crypto.com's implementation, visit their [product news page](https://crypto.com/product-news/eigenlayer-restaking-app)*
Eigen Games Hackathon Kicks Off with 80+ Builders
Over 80 participants have gathered for the Eigen Games hackathon, focusing on web3 and AI innovation. The event follows a pre-game Go Kart event in Denver on Feb 25th at The Vault. Key sponsors include: - Autonome - Alt Layer - Gaia Network - Hyperbolic Labs - Uniswap Foundation - Celo - RiscZero The multi-day building competition brings together developers to explore the intersection of blockchain and artificial intelligence technologies. Participants are currently locked in and actively building their projects.
