EigenLayer roles: AVS, operators, LRT protocols and restakers
Quote111 words
Maps the four actor types in the EigenLayer stack: AVS protocols (Lagrange), operators (Ankr), liquid restaking protocols (Kelp) and restakers who supply the ETH. Uses Lagrange's parallel prover and Ankr's operator nodes as examples.
Key claims
Lagrange builds a parallel prover and ZK co-processor on EigenLayer
Ankr runs the operator nodes that secure the AVS
Few understand what a pivotal role infrastructure providers like @ankr play in the @eigencloud ecosystem.
While @lagrangedev is building a parallel prover and ZK co-processor on to of @eigencloud, Ankr runs the operator nodes that secure the AVS.
馃 So who are the actors involved?
AVS Protocol (building on @eigencloud)
馃憠 This includes protocols like @lagrangedev
AVS Operators (run the nodes that the restaked ETH is delegated to, e.g. from LRT protocols)
馃憠 This includes @ankr
Liquid Restaking Protocols (Simplify restaking UX)
馃憠 This includes protocols like @KelpDAO
Restakers (restake ETH natively or with LRTs)
馃憠 This includes users like you and me that bring the capital to secure the system.
QUOTING @ankr
The @eigencloud ecosystem is booming 馃挜 with the growth of AVS projects! And we are thrilled to introduce @lagrangedev as our latest collaborator and AVS client on EigenLayer! 馃У t.co/wp40bLPYYi
