EigenLayer Goes Multi-Chain: Base Network First to Integrate Revolutionary Verification System

EigenLayer just flipped the script on blockchain security—launching its multi-chain verification protocol with Base as its debut partner. No more siloed networks; this is interoperability on steroids.

Why it matters: By expanding beyond single-chain validation, EigenLayer's architecture could finally make cross-chain DeFi more than just a marketing buzzword. Base gets first-mover advantage, but Ethereum's entire L2 ecosystem stands to benefit.

The cynical take: Wall Street will inevitably try to repackage this as 'blockchain-as-a-service' and charge 30% management fees for what's fundamentally open-source tech. Stay vigilant, degens.

EigenLayer’s ongoing upgrades and partnerships

EigenLayer has also made technical upgrades to improve performance and reduce costs. These include support for the BLS12-381 cryptographic curve, which increases scalability, and MOOCOW, an update to validator efficiency.

The protocol is working with major partners like Infura, LayerZero (ZRO), and Pier Two, which manages over $1 billion in delegated assets. Together, these updates show EigenCloud’s focus on building secure, flexible tools for developers working across chains.
