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.

Is Shared Security A Myth? With Toghrul Maharramov
Welcome to episode 10 of EigenLayer Unlocked, for a much more broad overview of what shared security really is, how to think about the concept of shared security, and where EigenLayer fits in. Following up on his earlier thoughts around modularity being a meme, we decided to bring Toghrul on to discuss his mental model for shared security and restaking. In the crypto world, shared security is often misunderstood as a term. In today's presentation, Toghrul walks us through why the lack of full shared security isn’t necessarily a bad thing, and how it opens up more opportunities for experimentation across L2s, restaking protocols, and other onchain systems. He also made a point to define the four key characteristics of shared security as it relates to cryptoeconomic systems. We touched on the idea of avoiding full interdependence amongst two separate systems which means individual failures are isolated, ensuring the wider ecosystem remains secure. However, this also breaks the core messaging for shared security, lending itself to a "partial shared security" terminology. Overall, this was a really good talk and towards the end we got into usecases, risks, and how Toghrul is viewing the restaking landscape. Enjoy.
