EigenCloud vs Liminal

EigenLayer is a restaking marketplace on Ethereum that lets ETH validators and LST holders opt‑in to provide crypto‑economic security to external ‘Actively Validated Services’ (AVSs). Participants earn additional yield by subjecting their stake to slashing conditions defined by each module, creating a shared‑security layer similar to Polkadot’s parachains. Mainnet restaking went live in April 2024, and over 4 million ETH had been opt‑in restaked by Q2 2025.

Liminal Basis is an automated strategy protocol designed to capture basis and funding-rate opportunities on Hyperliquid. It packages market-neutral positions that combine spot and perpetual exposure, seeking yield from price convergence and funding rather than directional market moves. Strategy execution, hedging and rebalancing are automated so depositors can access the trade through an on-chain vault.
