The successful launch of the LRT ecosystem and EigenLayer/EigenDA testnets has been crucial.
These testnets have seen enthusiastic participation, with hundreds of active operators and dozens of rollups now onboard. The community’s message has been unequivocal: EigenLayer is in demand.
Key Launches Propel EigenLayer’s Success
EigenLayer now offers new features to improve Ethereum’s staking and validating:
According to its blog post, Restakers can now delegate their entire stake to their chosen Operator. This empowers individuals to more directly influence the network’s security and efficiency. Operators can join EigenLayer to run AVSs like EigenDA, currently in beta.

This significantly evolves from initial restaking methods involving LST deposits or setting withdrawal credentials to an EigenPod. Active restaking now involves directly delegating to the top 200 operators running AVSs.
More About EigenLayer’s Features
The EigenLayer operator and AVS landscape is dynamic, expecting high turnover in the top 200 active sets. New operators, delegations, and AVSs will come online in the coming weeks. This growth and fluidity indicate a dynamic ecosystem full of opportunities for involvement.
3/ New functionality includes:
• Restakers can delegate their entire stake to an Operator of their choice
• Operators can register with EigenLayer and opt-in to running AVSs
• AVSs can register with the protocol, starting with EigenDA (currently in beta)— EigenLayer (@eigenlayer) April 9, 2024
The launch of EigenLayer and EigenDA on the mainnet, made possible through the collective efforts of restakers, operators, AVSs, and rollups, marks a significant milestone.
It’s a collective achievement that underscores the power of community collaboration in advancing technological innovation on the Ethereum blockchain.
