EigenLayer is officially launched on the main network, how to interact?

This morning, the Ethereum restaking protocol EigenLayer officially announced that it has launched the first phase of the application on the mainnet, allowing users to restake operations through two methods: liquid restaking and native restaking .

Earlier, EigenLayer had completed a $14.5 million seed round of financing led by Polychain Capital and Ethereal Ventures.

Because the innovative re-staking mechanism opens up the imagination space for expanding the trust layer of Ethereum, EigenLayer has attracted countless attentions at the moment when LSD is in full swing, and is even regarded by many practitioners as the most important project in the current Ethereum ecology (probably in many There is no need to add "one" in human eyes).

As mentioned above, current users who want to experience and interact with EigenLayer can do so in two ways: liquidity re-staking and native re-staking. The difference between the two is that the latter is suitable for staking users who independently run verification nodes.

Liquidity re-pledging

At the current stage, EigenLayer supports a total of three liquidity staking derivative tokens, namely Lido stETH (stETH), Rocket Pool ETH (rETH) and Coinbase Wrapped Staked ETH (cbETH).

For stability considerations,EigenLayer temporarily limits the TVL of the agreement and the amount of a single deposit. In terms of TVL, the three assets stETH, rETH, and cbETH are all limited to 3,200 tokens (a total of about 9,600 ETH). In terms of a single deposit amount, users are required to deposit only 32 tokens at a time.

but,EigenLayer has also mentioned that TVL and single deposit amount restrictions will be gradually relaxed within a few weeks to a few months. For users who intend to interact with the leading agreement, it is still necessary to understand the operation method in advance so that they can be released next time. Seize the "pit position" as soon as possible when the quota is reached.

Before operating, users need to prepare a certain amount of stETH, rETH or cbETH.

Native re-pledging

Different from liquidity re-pledging, native re-pledging needs to run verification nodes independently, so the technical threshold and capital threshold are relatively high for users (also 32 ETH, but liquidity re-pledging will loosen restrictions in the future, this is Ethereum Fangzhu.com’s hard requirements for pledge will not change in the future.)

For this method, EigenLayer has also set a TVL limit of 9600 ETH, but currently only 384 ETH has been deposited (in conversion, only 12 addresses have deposited), and there is still a large space.

For users who are running verification nodes independently and want to re-stake in this way, they can refer to the official documentsTutorial content, assigning the validator's withdrawal credentials to the EigenPods address. The specific deposit operation has four steps.

• official websiteofficial website, link the wallet.

• Then you need to click "Create EigenPod" to create an EigenPods. After success, click "Pod Details" to get the specific address of the EigenPods.

• Next, the user needs to configure the withdrawal credentials on the Beacon chain (to complete this step, the Ethereum verification node needs to be run first) to the EigenPods address.

Phase 1, just the beginning

castingcastingThere are still 3 and a half days to close the window, and qualified users may wish to play a self-defense.

According to the official description of EigenLayer, the launch of the agreement will be divided into three stages to attract various participants to join the ecosystem.

In the first phase "Stakers" of this launch, stakers can try to re-pledge through EigenLayer; in the second phase "Operators", node operators can accept the entrustment of stakers on EigenLayer; Services", the active verification service will be launched.

As EigenLayer continues to release the other two stages in the future, Odaily will continue to follow up and report, and accompany you to witness the growth of the re-staking narrative.
