Eigen Labs has introduced what’s known as “multi-chain verification” — a shift in how actively validated services can operate within the EigenLayer ecosystem. Previously restricted to Ethereum’s Layer 1, AVSs can now deploy across multiple chains, including Layer 2 networks, through an integration process.
This allows services on top of EigenLayer to operate on Layer 2 networks and other blockchains while retaining the platform’s security properties.
EigenLayer enables users to re-stake ETH, including through liquid staking tokens, to secure third-party applications called actively validated services (AVSs). The project’s shared security layer reallocates staked ETH across multiple services beyond Ethereum.
The update enables AVSs to configure a limited set of contract parameters, making them operational on Layer 2s within hours. This flexibility is intended to help AVS developers reduce costs, improve performance, and reach users on chains that offer faster and cheaper execution environments. As a result, AVSs will be able to serve users on faster, cheaper Layer 2s.
Eigen Labs said the feature preserves the trust and security guarantees of EigenLayer, even across different networks.
Multi-Chain Verification is now available on the Base Sepolia testnet. Eigen Labs noted that a full mainnet launch and support for more chains are expected in the coming months, with general availability targeted for the third quarter.
Last month, Eigen Labs introduced EigenCloud, a unified, programmable environment that combines core services such as EigenDA for data, EigenVerify for dispute resolution, and EigenCompute for execution.
This coincided with venture firm a16z crypto purchasing $70 million worth of EIGEN tokens, expanding on its previous lead investment in Eigen Labs’ $100 million series B round.
