About Eigen Labs

Eigen Labs is more than just a leading developer in the web3 space. We’re the driving force behind EigenLayer, a game-changing solution that revolutionizes crypto-economic security. Imagine a world where blockchain projects break free from the shackles of the scaling trilemma and capital limitations. In today’s ecosystem, each service is typically secured by its own tokenized trust-network. With EigenLayer, services can build upon the established security of the Ethereum trust network, unlocking untold scalability while maintaining security and decentralization. Building blockchain infrastructure in a permissionless manner is no longer a hypothetical—it’s our reality.
