A16z followed a $70 million funding round from @ Eigenlayer to launch a new product called EigenCloud. The name is quite cool, but it looks like a verifiable computing platform, although the technical architecture and modules are different from @ SuccintLabs. But the direction of the target is verifiable application computing in this direction. A platform that fully combines the characteristics of web2 and web3, compared to the singularity of previous oracle services, may see the most successful product combining web2 and web3 in recent years as oracle. Expanding here may be a good path.
The core of the product is this image. Let me briefly explain:
EigenCloud: Verifiable Cloud
Built with cloud level programmability and encryption level verifiability
-Application layer
These are end-user applications built on EigenCloud, with verifiability:
Prediction Markets: Allow users to place bets on future events with verifiable results.
Reputation system: User behavior verifiably affects reputation ratings.
Lending: A verifiable lending protocol that ensures secure and transparent transactions.
Loyalty: A verifiable application used for customer rewards.
Social: A social platform/protocol whose data and interactions can be verified.
Intelligent Agents: Verifiable intelligent agents that automatically execute tasks.
Any application (App ∞): Refers to all other verifiable applications that can be built.
-AVSs (Active Verification Services), Actively Validated Services)
AVS is a verifiable service running on EigenLayer, providing underlying functional support for:
ZkTLS: TLS communication authentication service based on zero knowledge proof.
Coprocessor: A service used to run complex calculations off chain and return verifiable results.
Oracle: Introduce off chain data onto the chain and ensure its verifiability.
Inference service: Machine learning model inference service, where the results can be verified.
AVS ∞: All other proactive verification services that can be added in the future.
-Eigen Primitives
These are the basic building blocks that support AVS and application operation:
EigenDA (Data Availability)
Cheap and fast data transmission
Provide off chain data availability services to ensure consistency and accessibility of on chain and off chain data.
EigenVerify
Punishing as a Service (Slashing-as-a-Service)
Used to verify whether the node is executing tasks honestly, and to impose penalties if it commits wrongdoing.
EigenCompute
Verifiably run off chain logic
Run off chain logic and ensure its execution process and results are verifiable.
-Shared Security Layer
EIGEN Token
Verifiable fork mechanism
Used for economic incentives and protocol governance, supporting verifiable protocol forks and other functions.
EigenLayer Protocol
Shared Security
Provide a mechanism for Ethereum validators to reuse security for multiple services (re staking mechanism).
In summary:
EigenCloud is a modular and verifiable cloud platform built on the EigenLayer protocol, providing full stack encryption and verification support from underlying data and computing to upper layer applications.
