Why Crypto Is Following A Similar Path As Cloud Computing with Polymer
Welcome to episode 14 of EigenLayer Unlocked, for a deeper dive into the interop landscape of crypto with a tight parallel to the internet experience. Our focus today is on Polymer Labs, for a technical presentation with Bo Du. Polymer is dedicated to making onchain interop as smooth as possible by acting as the "messaging queue" that acts as an interop layer for various rollups. By leveraging EigenLayer's DA, they’re scaling interop capacity to bring down costs and speed up transactions, enabling them to be a bridging hub for a potential future with thousands of L2s. The current hurdles of high latency, cost inefficiency, and complex data processing make it tough for blockchains to match the scale of traditional Web2 services. Bo has a very unique perspective on this landscape as he draws many analogies to traditional cloud computing throughout this presentation. Ultimately, the interoperability puzzle is about creating a modular architecture that can grow as more chains come online. Polymer wants to lean into the growing network effects of L2s, so we can collectively reduce time to market, and build the foundation for many chains to thrive in an interconnected world. Enjoy.

How To Think About Restaking Economics with Tarun Chitra
Welcome to episode 13 of EigenLayer Unlocked, for a very insightful conversation about building the correct mental model for restaking and crypto-economic security. We had the opportunity to sit down with Tarun Chitra from Gauntlet, who brought mental models, analogies, and key information to the table about how restaking mechanisms work, what makes EigenLayer's economics operate, and why incentives play a crucial role in this evolving ecosystem. We kicked things off by exploring the concept of valuing restaked security from one of Tarun's recent blog posts. Tarun explained how the decisions made by node operators—especially around which AVSs they allocate to—can have a ripple effect across the network. It’s not just about individual services; these choices can influence the broader stability of the ecosystem. A key part of our discussion was understanding the risks of cascading attacks. Tarun highlighted how failures in one AVS can impact others, leading to potential systemic issues. To prevent this, it’s essential to design security measures that address both local (individual service) and global (network-wide) risks. We discussed the analogy towards traditional finance, mortgages, and bonds to help conceptualize these concepts. One of the most interesting points was about EigenLayer’s introduction of a new security model featuring "unique stake." This model helps mitigate risks by allowing specific ETH reserves to be slashable only by particular services, providing a layer of isolation and addressing concerns about overlapping slashing risks. We also discussed the power law as it applies to AVSs—some thriving by transitioning from incentive-based models to sustainable revenue streams, while others might not make the cut longer-term. If you’re looking to get a clearer understanding of how restaking economics works, this is the podcast for you. Enjoy.

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.

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.

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.

Context S3: Your Guide to Digital (and Crypto) Culture w/ Trevor McFedries
Blake chats with the longtime supporter and friend of Boys Club, Trevor McFedries. He’s really done it all, from founding Friends with Benefits (FWB) and creating the first AI generated influencer Lil Miquela, to being an early employee at Spotify, to DJing around the world,and producing top 10 records. He’s one of the most unique and dynamic thinkers in crypto.
