EigenLayer AVS restaked ETH vs top 15 chains by staking market cap
Thread416 words
Compares restaked ETH securing live EigenLayer AVS protocols (EigenDA 2.77M ETH, about $8.23B) with staking market caps of the top 15 chains. Several AVS already carry more crypto-economic stake than whole L1s, such as EigenDA above Celestia and Aptos.
Key claims
EigenDA has 2,774,382 ETH restaked, about $8.23B
Ethereum staking market cap $95.38B vs Solana $49.89B
EigenDA, eOracle, Witness Chain and Lagrange each exceed the staking cap of Celestia, Tron, Polygon PoS or Sei respectively
Data-Driven Look at the Power of EigenLayer ♾ ✨
@eigencloud is a general purpose layer for programmable trust that allows anyone to easily bootstrap decentralized networks on top of Ethereum's existing trust network / validator infra and run arbitrary programs.
AVS protocols are basically infrastructure app-chains built on @eigencloud and secured by restaked $ETH.
📊 Let's have a look at what this means in numbers*:
👉 @eigen_da:
✦ 2,774,382 ETH restaked
✦ Approximately $8.23 billion USD
👉 @eoracle_network:
✦ 1,840,913 ETH restaked
✦ Approximately $5.46 billion USD
👉 @WitnessChain:
✦ 1,797,493 ETH restaked
✦ Approximately $5.33 billion USD.
👉 @lagrangedev State Committees:
✦ 1,796,886 ETH restaked
✦ Approximately $5.33 billion USD.
👉 @brevis_zk coChain AVS:
✦ 1,383,272 ETH restaked
✦ approximately $4.10 billion USD
👉 @alt_layer MACH:
✦ 1,289,853 ETH restaked
✦ Approximately $3.82 billion USD
👉 @OmniFDN:
✦ 1,279,595 ETH restaked
✦ Approximately $3.79 billion USD
👉 @XterioGames Mach (Powered by AltLayer):
✦ 1,261,435 ETH restaked
✦ approximately $3.74 billion USD
👉 @AutomataNetwork Multi-Prover AVS:
✦ 1,139,585 ETH restaked
✦ Approximately $3.38 billion USD
👉 DODOchain MACH (Powered by AltLayer):
✦ 37,570 ETH restaked
✦ Approximately $111.43 million USD.
* ) This list includes only AVS protocols that are already live on mainnet. There is many more teams building AVS protocols.
These numbers are huge, even compared to L1s that have proprietary validator sets and that bootstrap crypto-economic security on their own token.
Here are the top 15 chains by staking market cap**:
✦ Ethereum (ETH) - $95.38 billion
✦ @Solana (SOL) - $49.89 billion
✦ @Cardano_CF (ADA) - $10.22 billion
✦ @SuiNetwork (SUI) - $8.95 billion
✦ @BNBChain (BNB) - $8.49 billion
✦ @Aptos (APT) - $7.83 billion
✦ @avax (AVAX) - $6.95 billion
✦ @CelestiaOrg (TIA) - $6.84 billion
✦ @Polkadot (DOT) - $5.56 billion
✦ @trondao (TRX) - $5.42 billion
✦ @dfinity (ICP) - $4.56 billion
✦ @NEARProtocol (NEAR) - $3.43 billion
✦ @SeiNetwork (SEI) - $2.98 billion
✦ @ton_blockchain (TON) - $2.81 billion
✦ @0xPolygon PoS (MATIC) - $2.63 billion

Some notable findings with regards to crypto-economic stake as a measure of network security:
✦ @eigen_da > @CelestiaOrg
✦ @eigen_da > @Aptos
✦ @eoracle_network > @trondao
✦ @witnesschain > @0xPolygon PoS
✦ @lagrangedev > @SeiNetwork
Crazy how far these AVS protocols have come in just a few days or weeks.
This is a new paradigm anon. 🤯
