Staking Protocol EigenLayer Releases First Stage Testnet

Cointime Official

Staking protocol EigenLayer has announced the release of its testnet for the first stage of the protocol.

The EigenLayer launch is structured in three stages to facilitate the smooth integration of various participants:

Stakers: Onboarding stakers for restaking on EigenLayer.
Operators: Onboarding node operators who can receive delegation from restakers.
Services: Actively validating the first services on EigenLayer.

We are excited to announce the release of the testnet for the first stage of the EigenLayer protocol, which supports liquid and native restaking.

In addition, the EigenLayer contracts are undergoing audits, and a bug bounty program will be launched following the completion of these audits. The code is licensed under a BSL license for two years, after which it will convert to an MIT license. The EigenLayer team encourages the community to share their thoughts on the codebase via the GitHub repository.

Reasons to have higher L1 gas limits even in an L2-heavy Ethereum

One important near-term debate in the Ethereum roadmap is the question of how much to increase the L1 gas limit. Recently, the L1 gas limit was increased from 30 million to 36 million, increasing capacity by 20%. Many support following up with much larger increases in the near future. These increases are made safe by recent and upcoming improvements in technology: efficiency improvements to Ethereum clients, reduced need to store old history due to EIP-4444 (see roadmap), and later on stateless clients.

Combining on-chain identifiers and proof systems to streamline data processing across modular networks*

Here, I delve into chain abstraction, explaining how the market is implementing its intent to solve market fragmentation and deliver the smoothest possible multichain simplified experience, but still presents issues of network fragmentation due to modularity, different technical approaches, and risk or trust assumptions.
