[EigenLayer connects Ethereum and Cosmos to achieve new breakthroughs]
Ethereum and Cosmos both have great ambitions, but they encounter difficulties due to challenges such as MEV (Maximum Efficiency Scaling). In order to solve the problems of liquidity dispersion and decentralization, the two began to seek closer cooperation. At this time, EigenLayer appeared with the purpose of connecting Ethereum and Cosmos and bringing various innovations.
This collaboration allows the Cosmos community to build connections for decentralized liquidity and security within Ethereum’s core source code. At the same time, experiments within the Cosmos architecture also contribute to the development of Ethereum.
Ethereum aims to become a global settlement center, while Cosmos aims to create a universe composed of multiple digital city-states. Unlike Cosmos, Ethereum uses a PoS (Proof of Stake) mechanism.
With the gathering of ideas, Ethereum has improved its rollup-oriented upgrade strategy, and Cosmos is actively exploring shared security protocols. Ethereum Layer2 projects such as Superchain, ZK Stack and Polygon 2.0 are similar to the integrated economic space in Cosmos. Security upgrades to cryptographic architectures are a common goal.
Ethereum is grappling with MEV challenges affecting its future, and Proposal Builder Separation (PBS) appears to be the solution. PBS in Ethereum now uses a reliable commit revealing method through an external innovation called MEV-BOOST.
Cosmos is also facing MEV issues and is implementing new ePBS services such as Osmosis’s top block arbitrage profit sharing experiment, Skip’s BlockSDK experiment, and Fairblock’s attempted crypto trading pool.
Interoperability is crucial to the Cosmos developer community. The IBC protocol solves the problem of cross-chain light client verification, and approximately 1,000 IBC connections have been established. The interoperability problem of Ethereum is solved by espresso systems.
The validator series is a challenge for Cosmos innovation. EigenLayer solves this problem by providing a foundation for economic equity, allowing parties to contribute to the PoS network.
The key link between Ethereum and Cosmos is decentralization. EigenLayer provides connectivity options to Ethereum’s vast array of validators. Cosmos is still looking to grow its user base, and Ethereum wL2 has proven to be an ideal testing environment.
EigenLayer will continue to serve as a catalyst as Ethereum and Cosmos deepen their cooperation.
