A Review of EIGEN

Let's look at EIGEN, how it works, how we got here and what's next to discuss. Before the news on EIGEN, I had a feeling something was missing in EigenLayer. The stated goal was to provide decentralized trust for all sorts of actively validated services. How? Via programmable staking: - you get the right to validate the AVS staking an asset (in this case, staked ETH, hence restaking) - you accept slashing conditions enforced via smart contracts on Ethereum.

Delphi Pro - Prove It: Shared Provers, Proof Aggregation & Prover Marketplaces

Zero knowledge proofs are a powerful way to scale applications. Everything can be zk’d, including rollups, bridges, and VMs. However, generating these proofs can be slow, computationally intense and expensive, particularly on Ethereum. This can limit the deployment of innovative applications due to high proving times and gas costs. Zk rollups, which use provers for zk proofs, are a solution but can be resource-heavy. Due to these resource requirements they are usually centralized, which comes

The End of Points?

On "Real Yield Revanchism / The End of Points" ~$8.6B in liquid alts supply has been injected into the market from token launches in the past 4 months and ~$70.5B will be unlocked in the next couple yrs. I predict the altcoin music is going to stop in a matter of weeks. Everyone will collectively wake up one day and realize that points on unlaunched tokens are worthless. Users will be desensitized towards “points” as a concept and the term will evaporate from our shared mental construct as quic
