Permissionless Token Support Soon
An upcoming update will enable EigenLayer to support any ERC-20 token as a restakable asset. This broadens the assets that can contribute to EigenLayer’s shared security and allows to significantly enlarge the protocol’s cryptoeconomic security. Additionally, AVS will be able to pick and choose which ERC-20 tokens will secure their services.
The mainnet deployment update is scheduled for this week and EigenDA will be the first AVS to test and use this feature.
EigenDA reduces pricing
EigenDA announced a 10x reduction in pricing for both on-demand and reserved bandwidth customers. Additionally, it unveiled a free tier with up to 1.28KiB/s in throughput. These updates will only apply after payments go live. Most of the payment fees will be redistributed back to stakers and operators.
Worldcoin connects to Hyperlane
After announcing its partnership with Zora, Hyperlane partners with another Superchain member. Worldcoin is now connected to Hyperlane, enabling the protocol to access and prove humanity on other blockchain networks, World ID to expand beyond Worldchain and build interchain apps.
Othentic partners with Venn & Ungate
Othentic announced a new partnership with Ungate, the AVS building AI solutions, and Venn, the AVS building a unified modular security infrastructure. Both AVSs leverage the Othentic stack to abstract away low-level implementations and minimize their engineering overhead.
Arpa Randcast launches on Taiko
Arpa Randcast, Arpa's Network on-chain Random Number Generator (RNG) service, is now available on Taiko, as well as previously supported networks (Optimism, Base and Redstone). Learn more about when to use Randcast.
