Institutions Enter $89B Ethereum Staking Economy via EigenLayer
🌩 Staking Gets Superpowers
EigenLayer is transforming ETH staking beyond basic rewards into a foundation for the verifiable cloud. Key developments include:
- Over $10B in ETH and EIGEN staked
- Thousands of operators from home stakers to major players like Coinbase and Google Cloud
- Integration with Infura, LayerZero, and hundreds of AVSs on mainnet
- EigenDA delivering 15MB/s on mainnet, 50MB/s on testnet
- $2B+ in value secured by EigenLayer infrastructure
The platform enables deployment of verifiable services, privacy layers, and AI networks, similar to how AWS enabled web app growth. Notable implementations include Earnifi, the top paid finance app in Apple's App Store.
