Bonsai on fire: Carlos in Los Fomos
We summoned Carlos’s unfiltered takes by setting his mocktail on fire: cringey club rejections, cursed bonsai trees, black market picks and falling on stage at EthCC. We talk Lens vs. Farcaster, bot relationships and the digital forest we’re all supposedly lost in.

Context S4: A Guide to AI Agents w/ Carlos Beltran, Bonsai Co-Founder
Blake speaks with Carlos Beltran, co-founder of Bonsai, which started as a token, but has evolved into an entire ecosystem. Their most recent releases have been Sage, their flagship AI agent and a launchpad which focuses on a consumer friendly way to launch your own tokens. The convo dives deep into the AI agent meta. Blake asks Carlos what AI agents “actually are,” how to tell them apart from one another, how to build them and where he sees the space developing, particularly when it comes to agent to agent conversations. Carlos outlines Bonsai’s new launch pad as well, why it was important to have it be so consumer friendly and how to best use it. He also talks about the upsides and uniqueness of the Lens ecosystem and what exactly is “Bonsai Energy.” In the latter part of the episode, Blake gets to interview Sage in his first podcast appearance ever!

What is The Interop Endgame? With Hyperlane
Welcome to episode 16 of EigenLayer Unlocked, for a further look into the interoperability endgame. In today's video, we are focused on the technical design of Hyperlane's open framework for interoperability. Joined by Jon Kol, we touched on why we believe that modular, horizontal scaling is key for the future of the crypto space and building towards that future is where Hyperlane is headed. Recently, Hyperlane announced 'Supelane' in collaboration with Velodrome that brings consistent security across Superchain L2s. Superlane aims to create unified experiences with customizable security that scales as each chain develops and grow over time. We also discussed Hyperlane’s ISMs, which allow developers to pick and choose their security parameters, from basic setups to more sophisticated ZK bridging. What was really particularly interesting was their idea of enabling insurance for bridging using EigenLayer. Hyperlane is working to enable restakers to restake cryptoassets as a form of insurance for bridging as well as a security marketplace that lets you easily tap into trusted operators. We first heard of this idea earlier in the presentation series from Othentic, and its great to see it being built out as 'restaked interop' in Hyperlane. As you know, the interoperability fight is raging on and we are all doing what we can to play a significant role in the future of a composable crypto ecosystem. We're fighting the good fight, alongside great teams like Hyperlane. Enjoy.

Why ZK Will Power Crypto's Next Killer Apps with Lagrange
Welcome to episode 16 of EigenLayer Unlocked. We’ve got a lot to cover, and we’re excited to share some insights from our recent technical talk focused around ZK coprocessors with Ismael from Lagrange. The “internet of proving” is a network where ZK proofs are the centerpiece of all blockchain interactions onchain. We discussed the rise of proof markets onchain, why Lagrange is building their own prover network, and why they have decided to build their tech stack as an EigenLayer AVS. Lagrange is one of the earliest AVSs on EigenLayer, powering their prover network. We touched on their technical choice to build a double auction mechanism—an efficient way to match ZK proof buyers and sellers, making sure the market remains as steady as possible while keeping costs low for applications and consumers of ZK proofs. We also discussed some particular topics around liveness, economic security, and where the reliance on EigenLayer comes into play. If you're curious about ZK proofs, economic security, and efficient network design, this technical talk is for you.

How Espresso Aims To Solve The L2 Fragmentation Problem
Welcome to Episode 7 of EigenLayer Unlocked, where we’re exploring the concept of cross-chain composability -- and in particular, the fragmentation of the modular ecosystem. This is the key to unlocking the full vision of Ethereum's rollup-centric roadmap facilitating coordination between different chains, and Espresso is at the forefront of making it happen. Robbie had a very technical conversation with Ellie, a researcher and engineer at Espresso, who shared insights into how their protocol is addressing one of the modular ecosystems biggest challenges: bringing true composability to rollups and app chains. Espresso’s approach centers around a sequencing marketplace and a fast finality layer. These two products enable different rollups to coordinate sequencing without sacrificing their sovereignty. Rollups can sell their sequencing rights through a combinatorial auction, allowing them to maximize revenue while still maintaining control over their operations. The addition of EigenLayer’s restaking mechanism further enhances this process, simplifying sequencing while leveraging Ethereum’s strong economic security for guarantees. Fast finality is another key feature of Espresso, reducing latency for cross-chain transactions. Their consensus protocol, Hotshot, ensures transactions are finalized in less than four seconds, providing strong guarantees for atomic cross-chain operations without waiting for Ethereum settlement. Espresso’s marketplace also ensures that sovereignty is preserved by redistributing auction proceeds back to the rollups (if you watched the ASS podcast, then you know we are extremely bullish on redistributing this to apps). Rollups can set floor prices to ensure they’re always getting the revenue they deserve, even if they opt to sequence themselves. This piece will give you a detailed look at how Espresso is rethinking composability and making appchains a more viable option in the current semi-isolationist reality we live in onchain today.

How Stateless Apps Enable New Cross-Chain Possibilities with Skate
Welcome to our first EigenLayer Unlocked podcast from Singapore. Over the next few weekends, you can expect dynamic, high-quality, fast paced conversations from Andy and builders within the EigenLayer ecosystem. Today, we’re diving into the idea of stateless apps with Siddharth Lalwani, CEO of Skate. Skate’s approach focuses on solving the liquidity fragmentation issue we see across multiple chains. They’re building a unified AMM model as well as the underlying technology for apps to exist across many chains. By leveraging EigenLayer’s as an AVS, Skate uses cryptoeconomic security to ensure cross-chain transactions and build an ecosystem of “stateless” apps. Andy dives into Siddharth’s background, why they have chosen to use EigenLayer, how the design works, and where Skate is headed. With all the buzz around apps, this was a refreshing conversation about one potential way we’ll see apps be construed across the inevitable future consisting of thousands of chains. Enjoy.

Why ZK is Perfect for Offchain Computation with Brevis
Welcome to episode #2 of EigenLayer Unlocked, for a dive into a technical exploration of something that’s set to quietly improve how developers build smarter, more scalable DeFi applications: ZK-coprocessors. The magic of ZK is being able to conduct complex off-chain computations and then verifiably attest to their validity onchain. This is the thesis for coprocessors. Brevis is introducing a solution that tackles one of the most frustrating bottlenecks for DeFi builders—limited onchain computational power. With Brevis, developers can offload complex computations to off-chain environments, keeping blockchain efficiency intact while still remaining verifiable using ZK proofs. Have you heard of the saying verifiable computation? This is what ZK enables. During today’s breakdown, we’ll explore how Brevis works hand-in-hand with EigenLayer, leveraging their AVS system for enhanced security and cost-efficiency. Brevis' ZK coprocessor also allows DeFi protocols to easily access historical onchain data, unlocking features like dynamic fee adjustments based on user trading history—amidst others. We ask Mo, where he anticipates the yield coming from, the demand for Brevis, as well as how he is thinking about slashing, slashing rules, and slashing contracts. Lets jump in.
