A big step forward for Ethereum, EigenLayer has now launched slashing on Mainnet, meaning the security model is complete. This is a long-awaited upgrade. It is more than a just technical enhancement; it establishes EigenLayer as the backbone of “Verifiable Cloud.” From here on out, applications and services built atop EigenLayer will be able to make reliable, enforceable commitments. While the upgrade certainly tightened up EigenLayer’s core mission of providing secure, reliable infrastructure, it also introduced a fair number of new features that give users of EigenLayer across the network a lot more control and flexibility over what they’re doing.
