Boundless x EigenLayer: How ZK Unlocks Scalable Restaking 🪂

Let’s break it down:

> EigenLayer = Restaking Pioneers

They let staked ETH secure other protocols (aka AVSs).

But that vision? Comes with a huge problem...

> Onchain Tracking Is Painfully Expensive

To keep AVS operators honest, EigenLayer needs to track and slash across chains.

But every update burns insane gas, some ops cost 50M gas per calculation.

Now imagine that x all AVSs… yeah, RIP wallet.

> Enter @boundless_xyz

Boundless offloads these heavy ops offchain using ZK proofs, saving 99.9% gas, no compromise on security, accuracy, or liveness.

- Here’s the sauce:

1. AVS state is computed offchain

2. Boundless builds a Merkle tree from the result

3. The Merkle root is posted onchain

This is how you scale restaking.

ZK isn’t just fancy math - it’s core infra now.

And with Boundless, EigenLayer just unlocked its next level.
