In a recent talk at @token2049 in Dubai, @sreeramkannan spoke about making crypto apps expressive and @eigenlayer's evolution.
Here’s the full summary:
You’ve heard of restaking. But that’s just the entry point.
This is the part most people miss:
⚡️ Over $10B in ETH and EIGEN staked
⚡️ 1000s of operators, from home stakers to @coinbase to @googlecloud
⚡️ @infura_io, @LayerZero_Core, and 100s of AVSs live on mainnet
⚡️ @eigen_da, the highest-throughput data layer in crypto, powering next-gen chains like @megaeth_labs, currently delivering 15MB/s on mainnet, with 50MB/s successfully deployed on testnet
⚡️ Over $2B in value secured by EigenLayer-powered infra
All of this forms the foundation for something much bigger:
☁️☁️ A verifiable cloud ☁️ ☁️
Think of it like AWS for trust.
Where devs can deploy not just smart contracts, but full verifiable services, privacy layers, zk attestation engines, AI inference networks, decentralized sequencers, MEV filters, and more.
And just like AWS unlocked the web app boom, this verifiable cloud is about to do the same for crypto apps.
That’s the next phase. Because under all this infrastructure, something else is starting to emerge: Expressive, verifiable applications.
Apps that don’t just move tokens, they reason, verify, and interact with the world.
Apps like Earnifi, the #1 paid finance app in the Apple App Store, powered by zkTLS proofs from an AVS on EigenLayer.
Apps where AI agents live inside smart contracts, with inference results tethered to onchain outcomes.
This is crypto’s application moment.
☑️ Stakers secured the foundation
☑️ Operators scaled the runtime
☑️ AVSs built the middleware
Now, builders are arriving at the surface.
The verifiable cloud is here.
Let’s build what’s next. 🫳

CoinDesk
The crypto market turned red over the weekend, with Dogecoin (DOGE), Cardano’s ADA, and XRP each dropping over 7% as profit-taking set in after a strong week.
Bitcoin fell from a daily high of $111,200 to just over $107,000 on Friday, causing a swift change in sentiment. The drop came as President Donald Trump revived fears of a tariff war with the European Union — threatening a 50% levy as talks were “going nowhere.”
Market cap shed 5% and the broad-based CoinDesk 20 (CD20), a liquid index tracking the largest tokens, fell 2.2% as traders moved to lock in gains amid rising volatility.
The move comes despite bitcoin touching fresh highs above $111,500 just days earlier, with ETF inflows, stablecoin legislation, and institutional buying supporting its rally. But those same tailwinds haven’t kept altcoins afloat in the short term.
“Bitcoin reaching a new all-time high also carries altcoins toward a bullish direction,” said Haiyang Ru, co-CEO of HashKey Group, said in a Telegram message. “But if BTC’s volatility picks up again, traders may rotate into regulated stablecoins — especially with new frameworks in the U.S. and Hong Kong easing that transition.”
Alex Kuptsikevich, chief analyst at FxPro, crypto sentiment recently hit levels last seen in January, just as BTC and ETH reached critical resistance zones. “Unlike previous BTCUSD rallies, the current movement is not just momentum-driven but backed by real demand and macro factors,” he noted.
Still, markets are showing signs of fatigue. Ethereum is struggling to break past its 200-day moving average near $2,650, while altcoins that previously surged — such as HYPE and EIGEN — are now cooling off after double-digit gains.
Analysts warn that if BTC doesn’t establish a new support zone, altcoin losses could deepen.
For now, the weekend pullback displays the fragility of rallies in low-liquidity conditions and the speed at which sentiment can turn.

Everyday I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to work incredible founders like @MRRydon.
With annual revenue exceeding $110 Million and in one of the fastest growing segments of software, @AethirCloud is an absolute powerhouse.
At @eigenlayer, we are excited to deepen our relationship with Aethir, who are empowering developers with decentralized AI and gaming GPU cloud workloads.
Mark
The power of DePIN is in its scalability. This unlocks unprecedented scale for @AethirCloud . It’s like throwing gasoline on a fire. And we couldn’t do it without the awesome team at @eigenlayer @sreeramkannan @dabit3 💚💚

EIGEN is a universal intersubjective work token within the EigenLayer protocol. It's called an "intersubjective" token because it's designed to address intersubjective faults in a network. These are faults where there's consistent agreement among the majority of network participants that a malicious act has been committed. As a result, EIGEN helps to secure the network by discouraging inconsistent behaviors.
The EigenLayer protocol allows stakers of ETH, the native token of the Ethereum network, to extend the network's security to other applications across the EigenLayer network through a novel concept known as restaking. Here, ETH stakers can restake their tokens to secure other protocols built on EigenLayer, without the need to build a separate validator set.
How does EIGEN work?
Where ETH is used to secure services or protocols, EIGEN helps to address intersubjective faults that deserve a penalty by introducing intersubjective staking. In this situation, stakers who act outside of the network's rules can be penalized through slashing. Slashing sees individuals lose a quantity of their staked ETH. According to the project, through this approach, the EIGEN token allows the token to be forked without forking the Ethereum mainnet consensus.
EIGEN is also used to secure EigenDA, a data availability layer that supports Ethereum rollups.
Price and tokenomics
Season one of stakedrop claims for the EIGEN token opened on May 10, 2024. Here, 6.05% of the token's total supply of 1.67 billion EIGEN were made available to eligible users. Season one phase two of the stakedrop launched in June 2024, and made a further 0.7% of the total token supply available. According to the project, future seasons will see a further 1.5% of the total EIGEN tokens released.
Alongside the 15% of tokens allocated to stakedrops, 15% will go towards community initiatives, with 15% allocated to ecosystem development. A further 29.5% will be allocated to investors, with 25.5% assigned to early contributors.
All tokens allocated to investors and core contributors will remain fully locked up for one year after the date on which the token first becomes transferrable for the community. After this date, the EIGEN tokens allocated to investors and core contributors will be unlocked at a rate of 4% per month. This means EIGEN held by investors and core contributors won’t be fully unlocked until three years after the date the tokens first become transferable for the community.
About the founders
EigenLayer was founded in 2021 by Sreeram Kannan, a former professor at the University of Washington. Kannan remains as the project's CEO today. EigenLayer is developed by Eigen Labs, a research organization "focused on contributing to protocols that supercharge open innovation on Ethereum", according to the company's official X account.
