EigenLayer's Vercel moment.
The evolution is here. The age of verifiable apps has begun. Introducing EigenCloud, a platform for verifiable apps, services, and AI, built on EigenLayer, secured by the EIGEN token. ☁️. Crypto has spent a decade building trustless infrastructure. Now it's time to build on it.

We like revenue.
$500M+ settled. $18K+ in AVS fees. This is the flywheel:. Usage → volume → fees → alignment. @skate_chain is proving what verifiable infra can do.

You know what we need? Verifiable yap data and open yap algorithms. If projects like @noise_xyz and @stayloudio wants to turn attention into a commodity, then it requires a system that’s open and varifiable.

Very interested in where @capmoney_ would go. Restaking in Cap is more like insurance, which is a use case I had never thought of, yet super powerful if you consider how it could transform DeFi and bring 100+ similar retail-ready apps for @eigenlayer. Huge unlock.
Pay attention to Cap — they're nothing like your average verifiable service. In Cap’s ecosystem, operators are active yield strategy builders. This is a new class of AVS: direct-to-user, economically secure, and launching soon on @eigenlayer . Watching closely 👀.

I covered @eigenlayer’s app strategy in this week’s newsletter. It’s the first time the protocol has openly signaled its plan to become a self-reinforcing, AWS-like platform. It’s a huge investment, but if it works, EL could build a massive moat against any competitor.
