EigenCloud vs Uniswap

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.

Uniswap V3 pioneered concentrated liquidity ranges and multiple fee tiers, letting LPs choose custom price curves and earn up to 4000 × higher fee capital efficiency. It introduced NFTs to represent positions and a licence that restricts commercial forks for two years. As of 2025 V3 is deployed on more than 15 chains and retains over 60 % DEX market share by volume.
