šŸ’” Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) is once again making a major bet on EigenLayer, committing an additionalĀ $70Ā million in tokens to support the launch of EigenCloud - a new platform offering "verifiability-as-a-service" to developers.

In a world increasingly reliant on off-chain systems - AI, asset pricing, complex computation - trust still needs to be anchored somewhere. EigenLayer aims to make Ethereum that anchor āš“, extending its security guarantees beyond the chain itself.

Yes, it may sound like a big statement, but this kind of infrastructure is what actually moves the ecosystem forward.

Those who’ve followed the project from the early restaking papers to today’s modular stack can see that its trajectory hasn’t been flashy or loud, but rather consistent and foundational. Eigen truly builds with the intention to last šŸ—

⭐And while a16z backs EigenCloud with capital, EigenLayer itself is now handing out small rewards in a campaign with the exchange I happen to have a soft spot for, WhiteBIT. A curious pairing, but it's a clear sign they’re moving towards wider adoption.
