After the last days of market chaos and price drops, EigenLayer’s TVL sits at $12.2b according to DefiLlama. 

Witness Chain’s Watchtowers now run Challenger Clients for Proof of Location (PoL) on testnet. 

Proof of Location is software that enables DePIN nodes to prove their geographical location. It works by triangulation over internet pings made by many challenger nodes (currently EigenLayer operators) to a prover node looking to prove its location.

Multi-Provers will be part of Linea’s roadmap to decentralization. 

Automata’s Multi-Provers will help Linea’s move to decentralize their proving system while hardening security for the rollup. “We imagine Multi-Prover AVS as the middleware center for protocols to secure existing proving systems and verify the computational integrity of every transaction on Linea.”

Skate’s CEO showcased what a stateless app can look like with a pilot of an app enabling Polymarket on Ton. In this app the user’s intents are executed on Skate Chain seamlessly, and callbacks are secured by EigenLayer.

Skate is building the infrastructure for stateless apps, enabling builders to run one app on many chains with a single application state.

The Othentic Stack is a library of production-ready components that enable services to deploy infrastructure and spin up distributed systems that leverage shared security.

With Othentic AVS builders can focus on developing their service, while minimizing engineering overheads and abstracting low-level network implementations. This can include infrastructure to submit operator audits, reward mechanisms, and consensus engines to execute, validate, and approve tasks. 

The Othentic framework allows developers to customize the infrastructure to fit their service. Use cases include Coprocessors, ZK Provers, Decentralized Solvers among other novel computational services.
