Everything You Need To Launch An AVS With Othentic
Welcome to episode 8 of EigenLayer Unlocked, for a deep dive into the core infrastructure you need to launch an AVS. Othentic’s journey started with building their own AVS, and along the way, they faced every complexity imaginable. So, they created the Othentic Stack, making it easier for builders to get their AVSs off the ground without having to reinvent the wheel. So, what exactly is an AVS? Think of it as a decentralized computing service that performs complex tasks off-chain while verifying the results on-chain. This approach aligns with Ethereum's modular roadmap, where computations are offloaded to reduce onchain load, yet still securely validated. Unlike rollups, which focus on state transitions, AVSs are ideal for services where computation needs validation without the need for continuous state agreement. AVSs open doors for a variety of use cases—from oracles to machine learning models. Othentic simplifies the entire setup, letting teams focus on their core products while the stack takes care of everything on the infra side. Our chat also explores how AVSs differ from rollups and why this distinction matters for developers choosing between the two (or better yet, use both!). With more than 30 builders already using the Othentic Stack, it’s clear there’s a lot happening here. If you're a builder looking to launch an AVS, you need to speak to Othentic. Enjoy.

Decentralized Sequencing, Fast Finality, and Challenger Networks with AltLayer
Welcome to the 3rd episode of EigenLayer Unlocked. In this episode we take a deep dive into the evolution of restaked rollups with a focus on significant improvements to the state of L2s today, using AVS technology. Alongside Amrit Kumar, we walk through the three main pillars of AltLayer's future vision: Squad, a decentralized sequencer set; Vital, a challenger network for fraud detection; and Mach, a fast finality layer that ensures rollup transactions are confirmed more quickly. We took technical stabs at the risk vectors for these operations, the demand from operators to provide restaked capital to the rollups, where the technical tradeoffs exist, and much more. Amrit provided well thought answers. These components are modular, so rollup builders can pick and choose what fits their needs. The flexibility of the system means projects aren’t locked into a one-size-fits-all solution. Whether it’s reducing reliance on centralized sequencers or speeding up finality times without needing Ethereum’s long wait periods, restaked rollups provide a wide range of tools. Amrit also emphasizes how this approach can make an impact on the current lackluster utility of L2 tokens, potentially giving them utility beyond governance. This one was a technical dive into some of the core concepts which comprise rollups, and how utilizing EigenLayer's AVS technology, we can see improvements to their technical designs. Let’s dive in.

The Role of Operators, Slashing, and Liquid Restaking with EigenExplorer
Welcome to the 1st episode of EigenLayer Unlocked. This episode is meant to be a primer into how restaking fundamentally works, the key players in the restaking system, and why EigenLayer is leading this category today. At its core, restaking allows users to earn additional rewards by taking on slashing risks, offering a way to maximize risk-adjusted returns. EigenExplorer introduces a novel concept through operator quorums (now referred to as operator sets), which bring more granularity and customization to how services, operators, and stakers interact. These operator sets create tiers of services, allowing for more tailored, efficient staking choices that can yield vastly different outcomes depending on the strategy employed. One of the standout points in today’s discussion is the direct liquid restaking system EigenExplorer is building, designed to simplify decision-making for stakers by enabling them to delegate assets to specific services. This streamlines the process, making it easier for stakers to manage risk and rewards without diving into complex configurations. Additionally, strategy managers play a crucial role in helping stakers navigate this space, acting as market makers who optimize yield and manage risks across different services. As the market matures, data transparency and better tools for managing operator quorums will be key to improving market efficiency and ensuring everyone benefits from these innovations. As the first episode in the series, we wanted to prioritize an understanding of restaking and its core parts. Throughout the next several weeks, we will dive into the deep technical weeds of AVSs and rollups using EigenDA. Onwards and upwards.
