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.
LayerZero is an omnichain interoperability protocol designed to enable applications, assets, and messages to move seamlessly across blockchains. Built around its lightweight messaging infrastructure, LayerZero powers cross-chain products such as Stargate and supports asset issuance, value transfer, and omnichain application development. The protocol secures tens of billions of dollars in assets, has processed hundreds of billions in historical volume, and is trusted by hundreds of organizations including PayPal, Tether, Google Cloud, Paxos, and Ondo to build scalable cross-chain experiences.
